Installing Ghost on Clear Linux Latest

Ghost is a free, open-source blogging platform, and is a simple and elegant way to create a blog. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ghost on Clear Linux Latest.

Requirements

• Clear Linux Latest installed or running in a virtual machine
• Basic knowledge of the command line
• Installed version of Node.js, which comes by default on Clear Linux Latest

Installing Ghost

1. Begin by opening a terminal window on your Clear Linux Latest instance. You can do this by pressing CTRL + ALT + T on your keyboard or by searching 'Terminal' in the search bar in the upper left-hand corner of the desktop.

2. Install Ghost-CLI globally on your system by entering the following command:

   sudo npm install -g ghost-cli
   

3. Create a new directory for your Ghost installation. We will call it ghost-blog. You can use any name you like, but make sure it is a unique name and not the same as anything else that already exists on your system.

   sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ghost-blog
   cd /var/www/ghost-blog
   

4. Install the latest version of Ghost using the Ghost-CLI tool. This will take a few minutes.

   sudo ghost install
   

   You will be prompted with several options during the installation process, such as choosing your URL and database settings. Make sure to carefully read and follow the instructions.

   Note: The installation script will automatically install Nginx and configure your server to use it. If you already have Nginx installed or wish to use a different web server, you will need to manually configure it to use Ghost.

5. When the installation process is complete, you should see the message:

   Ghost is installed! Visit https://yourdomain.com/ghost to log in.
   

   Note that your URL is replaced with your domain or IP address.

   You can now access your Ghost admin panel by visiting the URL you provided during installation followed by "/ghost" (for example: https://yourdomain.com/ghost).

6. To run Ghost in production mode, use the following command:

   sudo ghost start
   

   To stop Ghost, use:

   sudo ghost stop
