Docs Supported node versions for self-hosted installs of Ghost show Node 14.x is compatible with Ghost v4.0 but we are seeing an error as
Ghost v4.6.0 is not compatible with the current Node version.
How can we solve this?

$ ghost -v
Ghost-CLI version: 1.15.3
Ghost version: 3.41.5 (at /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/htdocs)

$ ghost update
You are running an outdated version of Ghost-CLI.
Run `npm install -g ghost-cli@latest` to upgrade.

Can you try a few things?

  • Update your CLI version - there are some changes which should help identify users with multiple node versions installed
  • Update your node version - Ghost requires at least node 14.16.1 as it was a security release

Thanks @vikaspotluri123
Now I think I’m stuck in the pit to upgrade Node on Bitnami/Debian (Default location won’t update, new location isn’t picked up). It’s frustrating, but will try to solve that and then get back to my actual Gatsby problem.
