Install local not compatible with Node version

Developer help Installation

I’m trying to install Ghost locally and it gives me an error of compatibility with Node. I already tested with Node 12 and now with Node 14.

% ghost install local
✔ Checking system Node.js version - found v14.15.4
✔ Checking current folder permissions
✔ Checking memory availability
✔ Checking free space
✔ Checking for latest Ghost version
✔ Setting up install directory
✖ Downloading and installing Ghost v4.18.0
A SystemError occurred.

Message: Ghost v4.18.0 is not compatible with the current Node version.

Debug Information:
    OS: macOS, v11.6
    Node Version: v14.15.4
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.17.3
    Environment: development
    Command: 'ghost install local'

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

You can always refer to https://ghost.org/docs/ghost-cli/ for troubleshooting.

Any ideas ?

You need at least node 14.16.1

Thank you @vikaspotluri123.
Where can I find this information? And Node 12, what minimum version ?

It’s normally listed in the package.json of the Ghost version - Ghost/package.json at main · TryGhost/Ghost · GitHub

But you shouldn’t need to refer to that - I’m looking into having the CLI provide this information when erroring :slight_smile:
