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 --productionfor new dependencies - Then restart Ghost with
forever restart index.jsorsudo service restart ghostif you have it running as a service
