If you want to run Ghost on the latest version of Node, you can, however, we can’t offer support for any issues.

But it doesn’t show how. Below is the log of ghost install local

Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

It seems to me that since you are asking a basic question you should not use tools other than those that are available and supported by the software author.
