Solution

  • If you look in package.json you will see the preinstall script. It is looking for node. If you are working on Ubuntu, you might need to change that to nodejs. Another thing to try is: 

    npm cache clean
rm -rf node_modules
npm install --production
npm start --production

    Another possibility is if you are using a version of node that it doesn't support. In that case you can disable the version check: 

    GHOST_NODE_VERSION_CHECK=false npm install --production
GHOST_NODE_VERSION_CHECK=false npm start --production
