Error ghost-cli@1.18.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module

Developer help

Hello,

I was attempting to install another application earlier, and the installation failed due to this error:

error ghost-cli@1.18.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module.

If memory serves me correctly, I installed Ghost a few years back and then deleted the directory that housed the installation.

I’ve tried updating it via the update command and deleting it using the uninstall command, and none seem to fix the issue. Whenever I do ghost -v, I get Ghost-CLI version: 1.18.1 regardless.

Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you have multiple versions of the cli installed - e.g. due to installing with different package managers or users. You can use whereis ghost to see the varying (linked) locations it’s installed

Thanks that helped and got me on the right track! :+1:
