Why is Ghost not installing correctly?

✔ Checking system Node.js version
✔ Checking logged in user
✔ Checking current folder permissions
✔ Checking operating system compatibility
✔ Checking for a MySQL installation
✔ Checking memory availability
✔ Checking for latest Ghost version
✔ Setting up install directory
✖ Downloading and installing Ghost v2.33.0
A ProcessError occurred.

Message: Command failed: yarn install --no-emoji --no-progress
warning ghost@2.33.0: The engine "cli" appears to be invalid.
error csv-parser@2.3.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">= 8.16.0". Got "8.10.0"
error Found incompatible module.

Got this error with One Click install. Here’s a quick run down of what I did to resolve in the event that someone else encounters the same issue.

1. change to ghost user

sudo -i -u ghost-mgr

2. remove botched/broken install directory

sudo rm -r /var/www/ghost

3. add nodejs source (maybe unnecessary, idk)

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash 
4) run updates

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

5) update nodejs

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

6) recreate install dir and set permissions 

sudo mkdir /var/www/ghost sudo chown ghost-mgr:ghost-mgr /var/www/ghost

7) re-run install command. (just copy this from the terminal output of the failed install to get the command with your MYSQL pw. Will look like:

ghost install --auto --db=mysql --dbhost=localhost --dbname=ghost_production --dbuser=ghost --dbpass=veryNicePassword --dir=/var/www/ghost --start

That did the trick for me. Worth note, I first tried on a $5 droplet and then moved to a $10 droplet based on comments above. I don't think that matters though and I'm guessing the above fix would work on $5 droplet as well. 

Same problem here. Ended up installing it on my own.

Welll… bummerrrrrrrr… it doesn’t work… great. I was hoping to roll out a Ghost site in 1.2.3… but nothing…
