Upgrade Ghost to 0.7.0
With the brand new release of 0.7.0, I figured it'd be worth checking it out as this version comes with changes like the refresh of the admin interface. Be sure to make a backup of your blog by exporting posts and settings via .json
file under the Labs section. It's also a good idea to make a copy of the content
folder from the Ghost install. Finally you should consider the version jump when upgrading (e.g. 0.6.x to 0.7.0) - more on that here.
In short, here are the steps:
- Switch to your install path (e.g.
cd /var/www/
) - Get the latest release with
sudo wget http://ghost.org/zip/ghost-latest.zip
- Remove old core files by
sudo rm -rf ghost/core
- Extract the archive
sudo unzip -uo ghost-latest.zip -d ghost
- Ensure permissions are correct
sudo chown -R ghost:ghost ghost/*
- Enter the Ghost directory (
cd ghost
) and runsudo npm install --production
for new dependencies - Then restart Ghost with
forever restart index.js
orsudo service restart ghost
if you have it running as a service
