Cannot Update Ghost to latest version

I am having a problem updating my ghost instance (running on Contabo VPS under Ubuntu 20.04). I am running version 5.34.0 and want to update to the latest version (5.96.0). The command < ghost update v5.96.0 > gives me a type error message (‘Invalid version. Must be a string. Got type “object”.’). Also i cannot backup … < ghost backup > says I do not have a running instance, and < ghost stop > says its already stopped … but its not … Website is accessible via www? Any suggestions to fix this and update to latest version.

I have replied there.
