How to Install Ghost on Manjaro

Introduction

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.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

• Manjaro installed on your system
• Basic knowledge of using the command line
• Node.js installed on your system

Step 1: Download the installation file

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.

Step 2: Install Ghost

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.

Step 3: Configure Ghost

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.

Step 4: Start Ghost

To start Ghost, run the following command:

npm start --production

This will start Ghost in production mode.

Step 5: Access Ghost

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.
