Hi, I have a problem with ghost-cli! Ghost report it’s not running the last version of Ghost-CLI > You are running an outdated version of Ghost-CLI. > It is recommended that you upgrade before continuing. > Run `npm install -g ghost-cli@latest` to upgrade. \*\*I have try to run `sudo npm install -g ghost-cli@latest` but it doesn’t update the version to the last version (1.7.3) I have also try to run `sudo npm i -g ghost-cli@1.17.3` - Dont work! ### To Reproduce 1. Go to your ghost install dir. My dir is: /var/www/ghost 2. Run: `sudo npm install -g ghost-cli@latest` 3. Run `ghost update` 4. Then it will tell you the ghost-cli is outdated ### Technical details: - Ghost version: 4.6.4 (at /var/www/ghost) - Ghost-CLI version: 1.17.1 - Node Version: v14.17.0 - Browser/OS: Brave V1.25.68 - Database: Mysql Ver 8.0.25-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 **Any help will be really nice :)** Regards Taxick @ [https://www.futurenode.dk](https://www.futurenode.dk/) ---

How did you originally install the CLI? If you installed with yarn it might be overtaking the npm installation. Run `whereis ghost` to see if there are multiple references to it ---

Hi @vikaspotluri123 - Thanks for your reply 🙂 **Here is the commands i used to install node.js** ```auto # Add the NodeSource APT repository for Node 14 curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash # Install Node.js sudo apt-get install -y nodejs ``` **Then i run:** npm install -g ghost-cli@latest **If I run `whereis ghost` i get this** > ghost-mgr@s1:~$ whereis ghost > ghost: /usr/bin/ghost /usr/local/bin/ghost I don’t used “yarn” Looking forward to hearing from you :) 🤓 **EDIT:** Can the error be something related to my post: [Node v. 14.16.1 makes warnings](https://forum.ghost.org/t/node-v-14-16-1-makes-warnings/22641) Thanks ---

You can see that there are 2 versions of Ghost installed when running `whereis ghost` What happens when you run `ls -l /usr/bin/ghost /usr/local/bin/ghost`? ---

hmm… can you uninstall the cli (`npm uninstall -g ghost-cli`) and see what the output of `whereis ghost` is? ---

So that shows that the cli was installed some other way. Can you run: `npm list -g --depth=0` and `sudo npm list-g --depth=0`? Only one of the commands should be run with sudo ---

Your sudo command is missing a space - `list -g` not `list-g` 😉 Are you using n for node version management? ---

Are you using `n` for node version management? That might be causing issues. Can you also run `sudo yarn global list` and `yarn global list` just to be safe? ---

Hi. Just an update 🙂 After a long night, trying to get it to work, I decided to reinstall my server, and now it works fine… I don’t not know what the problem was, but works now 🙂 Thanks to @vikaspotluri123 for trying to help me. // Thomas
