Installing ghost locally. Node version Error.

I am using nvm for my node version manager, I read here http://support.ghost.org/supported-node-versions/ that the 0.10.40 is the reccomended version. Installed that and set it nvm to that version nvm install 0.10.40 & nvm use 0.10.40

I cloned the git repository and grunt cli installs fine npm install -g grunt-cli When I try to install ghost with npm install

This is a really bad idea after all, a lot of knowledge gets lost in Slack.

@pedro380085 Yes i think that is the correct solution, I didn’t realize I was supposed to install production and then run in development mode my by just running npm start after.
