It looks like you’re running into something similar to this issue: > [@No way to update older sites?](https://forum.ghost.org/t/no-way-to-update-older-sites/27948): > > I have a Ghost site running on v1, and I wanted to step through and update to the latest major release, however it appears there’s no way to actually do this. In updating to v2, I get the following error: Ghost v2.38.3 is not compatible with the current Node version. Your node version is 12.22.9, but Ghost v2.38.3 requires ^8.10.0 || ^10.13.0 Downgrading to NodeJS 8 makes the Ghost CLI stop working, but upgrading to a newer release (like NodeJS 12) makes the v2 update fail. Is there any way … Can you try the solution and see if it works? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.ghost.org/t/node-error-when-upgrading-from-2-36-0/29074)._
