Summary

When attempting to perform a ghost install local, I receive the following error:

Error occurred running command: 'undefined'

Steps to Reproduce (for a bug report)

1. Install ghost-cli@latest via NPM or yarn.
2. Run the command ghost install local as root or user with sudo.

The failure appears to happen at the Running database migrations stage. Here is a log:

@crunchprank can you try upgrading to the latest ghost-cli release (1.0.2)? I still have no idea what's happening here but maybe an upgrade would fix it?

I got the same error when doing an upgrade from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0 - using the latest ghost cli version 1.0.2

Resolved my upgrade issue by running ghost update --force. Website is back up!

[crunchprank]

Unfortunately I will be out of town until next week but I will try as soon as possible to attempt this solution, as I know you don't want Issues sitting around with no activity.

[ErisDS]

@crunchprank really appreciate you taking the time to let us know that :)

Today I got the same error as OP with only an additional line emitted "→ id: ghost: No such user".

This happens whether installing local or not, using Ghost-CLI 1.0.3 with ghost install --no-setup-linux-user ... I'm on a shared hosting plan so need that flag. Also I could mention, I'm using nvm. Thanks!

[acburdine]

Ah ok - I think I actually might have a better idea of what's causing this. I'll look into it more tonight.

[acburdine]

Figured out what the issue was 😅 PR incoming.
