Hello,
I am getting this warning for a while but don’t know how to fix it:

Warning: Ghost is running with node v14.16.1.
Your current node version is v14.18.1.

I tried ghost update v4.36.0 --force but warning still remains.

Some info about my environment:

$ ghost version
Ghost-CLI version: 1.18.1
Ghost version: 4.36.0 (at /var/www/ghost)

$ node -v
v14.18.1

$ nvm list
       v14.16.1
->     v14.18.1
         system
default -> 14 (-> v14.18.1)
node -> stable (-> v14.18.1) (default)
stable -> 14.18 (-> v14.18.1) (default)
iojs -> N/A (default)
unstable -> N/A (default)
lts/* -> lts/gallium (-> N/A)
lts/argon -> v4.9.1 (-> N/A)
lts/boron -> v6.17.1 (-> N/A)
lts/carbon -> v8.17.0 (-> N/A)
lts/dubnium -> v10.24.1 (-> N/A)
lts/erbium -> v12.22.7 (-> N/A)
lts/fermium -> v14.18.1
lts/gallium -> v16.13.0 (-> N/A)

I think it’s about multiple versions of nodejs, but not sure.

I’m still getting this issue for one out of my four installations. Same box, same everything, just different installations.

Warning: Ghost is running with node v14.16.1.
Your current node version is v14.17.0.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you’ve got multiple versions of node installed on the machine - one system and another using something like nvm.

Ideally you only have one or the other, else the versioning can get very confused… so if you need to use nvm, you should uninstall the system node and just use nvm.
