Hey 🙂

I have just updated the node version and my NPM to the following versions…

node v14.16.1  
NPM: 7.12.1  
And to the last version of Ghost-CLI

But after the update ghost to 4.5.0, I get this warning…

```
Warning: Ghost is running with node v12.22.1.
Your current node version is v14.16.1.

```

But my node version is: v14.16.1.

BTW… Here are some from the update list…

Bumped minimum Node version to 12.22.1 and 14.16.1 - Daniel Lockyer

How to fix it?

How did you install node?

We recommend against using `nvm` in production because you can end up with different OS users having different versions of `node` installed without realising it (this is why we added the warning). It’s recommended to uninstall `nvm` and install `node` directly system-wide [https://ghost.org/docs/install/ubuntu/#install-nodejs](https://ghost.org/docs/install/ubuntu/#install-nodejs)

Hi 🙂

Thanks for the answer…

I use these commands.

1. sudo npm install n -g
2. sudo n stable
3. sudo npm install -g npm

EDIT: I have just installed node 12, and it works fine without any errors! - But node 14 makes errors!

The reason running with node 14 causes errors is because the CLI is finding Ghost running a different version. In other words, the CLI node version is not the same as the Ghost node version, which is why Kevin said using something like `nvm` (or `n`) is not suggested
