Getting Started

There are two main ways to get started with Ghost, take care to use the method which best suits your needs.

Please note - the downloadable zip files we provide on Ghost.org are pre-built packages designed for getting started quickly. Cloning from the git repository requires you to install several dependencies and build the assets yourself.

Getting Started Guide for Bloggers

If you just want to get a Ghost blog running in the fastest time possible, this method is for you.

For detailed instructions for various platforms visit the Ghost Installation Guide. If you get stuck, help is available on our support site.

  1. Install Node.js - Ghost requires Node v0.10.x
  2. Download the latest Ghost package from Ghost.org. If you cloned the GitHub repository you should follow the instructions for developers here.
  3. Create a new directory where you would like to run the code, and un-zip the package to that location.
  4. Fire up a Terminal, the Node Command Prompt or shell and change directory to the root of the Ghost application (where config.example.js and index.js are)
  5. run npm install --production to install the node dependencies. If you see error Error: ENOENT on this step, make sure you are in the project directory and try again.
  6. To start ghost, run npm start
  7. Visit http://localhost:2368/ in your web browser or go to http://localhost:2368/ghost to log in

Check out the Documentation for more detailed instructions, or get in touch via the forum if you get stuck.

Getting Started Guide for Developers

If you're a theme, app or core developer, or someone comfortable getting up and running from a git clone, this method is for you.

If you clone the GitHub repository, you will need to build a number of assets using grunt.

Please do NOT use the master branch of Ghost in production. If you are using git to deploy to production, please use the latest release or the stable branch which contains the latest release.

Quickstart:
  1. npm install -g grunt-cli
  2. npm install
  3. grunt init (and grunt prod if you want to run Ghost in production mode)
  4. npm start

Full instructions & troubleshooting tips can be found in the Contributing Guide under the heading “Working on Ghost Core“.

Check out the Documentation for more detailed instructions, or get in touch via the forum if you get stuck.

If you want to use Ghost as a NPM module there is a Wiki entry where you can find instructions on how to get set up.
