"Working directory is not a recognisable Ghost installation."

[DanHakimi]

Well, ghost-CLI isn't listed among the prerequisites, but okay, I've installed ghost-CLI. And I installed an instance of ghost. And I tried moving all of the ghost-on-github-pages files to that directory with that Ghost installation already in it.

./install never asked me for any info, including that url it's supposed to ask me for. No matter what I do, it says "Working directory is not a recognisable Ghost installation." Why is this happening?

+1 to this. Running into the same issue on a fresh install. MacOS Mojave.

@DanHakimi did you ever manage to resolve this?

I'm using Buster instead of Ghost on Github Pages. My understanding is that GoGHP is based on Buster, and that neitehr has been updated in a long time. But Buster works without too much trouble -- my blog is up at dresscode.danhakimi.com

Same Issue for me as well. Ubuntu 20.04. ghost version results this- Ghost-CLI version: 1.15.3 ghost doctor "Working directory is not a recognisable Ghost installation."

update node and it is fixed

Use NodeJS version 18 (Hydrogen). This solves it for me.
