Problem
The Ghost CLI had a version mismatch between its reported Node.js compatibility and Ghost 6.0's actual requirements:
CLI reported support: Node.js ^22.11.0 (in package.json)
Ghost 6.0 actual requirement: Node.js ^22.13.1
This caused a confusing user experience where:
✅ CLI would say "Node.js v22.11.0 is supported"
❌ But then fail during installation with "Ghost v6.0.1 requires Node.js ^22.13.1"
Files Changed
Solution
Updated the package.json engine requirements from:
"node": "^12.22.1 || ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || ^18.0.0 || ^20.11.1 || ^22.11.0"To:
"node": "^12.22.1 || ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || ^18.0.0 || ^20.11.1 || ^22.13.1"Additionally added the required node versions in the README:
