Can't update Ghost to the latest version 2.12

Developer help
1

hi there!
I have tried to update ghost from 2.11 to 2.12 many times and Its impossible. Error information below.
Node Version: 10.15.0 (I also tried with others…)
Ghost Cli (latest)
Ubuntu 14 (digital ocean) (updated with apt-get 2 days ago)

Am I doing something wrong?

note: I don’t now why the debug information says “node 8.9” and the console says “10.15”…

Node
xxxxxx@ghost-xxx-xxxxx-01:/var/www/ghost$ nodejs -v
v10.15.0

the error says:

:heavy_multiplication_x: Downloading and updating Ghost to v2.12.0
A ProcessError occurred.

Hm looks like the min node version of Ghost & eslint is different.

Ghost: ^8.9.0
eslint: ^8.10.0 (see decision)

You have to correctly symlink nodejs to node, then it will work.
Please follow our node.js installation instruction.

I’ve raised eslint node min version is ^8.10 · Issue #10420 · TryGhost/Ghost · GitHub. We need to figure out why it errors at all, because eslint is a dev dependency :woman_shrugging:t2:

HI! thank you for your time.
I tried using the instructions in the link step by step with no errors at all. Then I tried running the “ghost update” command again and it still fails.
Is there any other workaround? or I will have to wait until someone fix the bug.
thx!!!

You are still using node 8.9.1. To get rid of this error for now you need to update to 8.10.x

Hi,
every time I run:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

I just get the 8.9.1… I can’t find the way to update to 8.10
thats basically the reason I’m still asking for help =(

Solved.
Just in case anyone have a similar issue:

thx

I’m not an expert but that command seems the install command rather than the update/upgrade command. You have some options here (they seem a bit different):

Another option here:

I just updated my nodejs from v6.16 to v8.15 using these two commands (ubuntu 16.04 - exactly the commands you used, it seems):

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
