Was trying to run ghost locally and got this error. As it says on the [website](https://ghost.org/docs/faq/node-versions/), 12x node versions are supported and I got the latest one according to the [node website](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.13.0/).

What am I doing wrong?

The log:

Oh, I see… Don’t know how I came about the v12.13.0 being the latest.

I updated and it’s working now! Thank you very much!
