I tried installing Ghost (v 2.27.0) via Ghost CLI on my host’s ssh using the command:
ghost install --no-setup-linux-user
During the first 2 installs, I could get to the “Enter your blog URL” step pretty fast. (I entered an incorrect MySQL username so I had to tried again).
When installing Ghost the third time, it seemed to get stuck at step 5/5 Building fresh packages.
I waited 10 to over 30 minutes & tried again 3-4 times, but it was still showing the Downloading line at step 5/5 every time. Is this normal? Do you guys have any ideas for fixing?
Host info: CentOS 7 (it works fine from many users’ experience)
Browser: Chrome
SSH Client: PuTTy
Hey there, that doesn’t seem right. What’s the output showing if you run it with the --verbose flag?
When I run ghost --verbose in the same install folder, it shows:
Unrecognized command: ‘–verbose’. Run ghost help for usage.
Hi, I tried ghost install --no-setup-linux-user --verbose

Hi @vanjungg, I’ve just checked with the team and I’m afraid we don’t support centos in the CLI. There’s not much we can do, unless you have some familiarity with the code and are able to debug what is happening?
Sorry for not being able to help you further with this issue

Using the --verbose flag & switching to Bitvise SSH client did the trick! Thank you @DavidDarnes, you helped me!

While in my case, I am stuck at the 4th step - linking dependencies.
I am using an Ubuntu machine on AWS. It has definitely been running for more than 10 minutes
Struggled with this issue on digitalocean for so long that once I finally got it working, I made a blog post about how I fixed it and how you can fix similar issues. Pls take a look, hope it’s helpful:
