Hey @vasuratran Did you try updating the CLI with `sudo npm i -g ghost-cli@latest` ? Then also please run `ghost doctor` and share the output of it here. I can also see, that you’re on Ubuntu 18. Our recommendation is Ubuntu 16, so that might also be an issue. Let me know, how it goes 🙂 ---

Ok so Aileen mentioned you need Ubuntu 16 and the screenshot you posted says the same thing - right? So that’s a pretty good indication of where to start If you want to use an unsupported environment then you’ll have a harder time getting support from anyone - because others aren’t using that env ---

This looks related to [Ghost-CLI 1.5.2 fails in a loop · Issue #675 · TryGhost/Ghost-CLI · GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/issues/675)? ---

I agree that I am using Ubuntu 18.04. But there isn’t much difference in these two versions. It should actually enhance the performance and not hamper it. However, l am not sure if there is any major change in the architecture of Ubuntu 18.04. Also, I was able to update ghost and cli for some 3-4 times and started facing issues just recently. Can someone help me resolve this issue? It would take much of my time and efforts to migrate it on a new server running 16.04. ---
