Ghost is a popular content management system (CMS) that is designed specifically for bloggers. It is based on Node.js, which means it can run on almost any platform. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ghost on Manjaro.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
To download the Ghost installation file, open your terminal and use the following command:
wget https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip
This will download the latest version of Ghost as a .zip file to your current directory.
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the .zip file to a new directory with the following command:
unzip ghost-latest.zip -d ghost
Move into the newly created ghost directory using the command cd ghost.
Now, you need to install Ghost dependencies by running the following command:
npm install --production
This will install all the required packages.
In the ghost directory, you will find a config.example.js file. To configure Ghost, make a copy of this file with the following command:
cp config.example.js config.js
Now, open the config.js file using any text editor of your choice. Set the url property to the URL where you want to access Ghost.
To start Ghost, run the following command:
npm start --production
This will start Ghost in production mode.
With Ghost running, you can now access it by navigating to the URL you specified in the config.js file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ghost on Manjaro. If you face any issues, please refer to the official Ghost documentation.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
