For anyone else who comes across this issue, it is caused by changing node versions after installing ghost-cli.
Sqlite3 is a binary dependency that comes with precompiled binaries and downloads the right one for your system on install. If you change the environment, it will look for a different binary, which wasn’t downloaded.
Ideally, the CLI would catch this error and explain clearly what the problem was 😬
Got the same error when using Node 14 LTS (Fedora 33, Yarn). Downgrading to Node 12 LTS and removing and reinstalling ghost-cli fixed it. (
yarn global remove ghost-cli && yarn global add ghost-cli)
