Running Ghost on a previous project

Developer help Installation
1

Hey guys, this is my first time trying to work on Ghost but I have come across an issue when running it.

The project I am working on is running on Ghost and now that I have setup Ghost on my machine, I am having some issues running the local server for this project locally. It throws me an error back that I can’t seem to find a proper answer for online.

I am working on a Windows machine, that has a subsystem of Linux installed on it. Perhaps someone can assist me? Thank you very much.

❯ ghost run
The `ghost run` command is used by the configured Ghost process manager and for debugging. If you're not running this
to debug something, you should run `ghost start` instead.

Hey @Ahmedie-m :wave:

Can you run ghost doctor to make sure nothing’s broken, and if nothing is broken, can you also share the debug information in the output? The 2 main things are node version and ghost version :slight_smile:

Hey, I have already tried that previously but it shows nothing as broken.

Here is the output:

Hmm, it looks like you’re using a pretty old version of Ghost (current version is 3.11!). Could you try updating?
