Ghost has been made public today in the afternoon. I was waiting for it so I tried to install it from the source code a few hours later. I followed the step listed in the file CONTRIBUTING.md. First, I had to install Ruby on my system, put it in the PATH and install two gems.
Installing Ruby:
PATH=$PATH:/home/user/.gem/ruby/2.0/bin export PATH
source ~/.bash_profile
Installing the gems:
gem install sass
gem install bourbon
Then, I followed the instructions given by Ghost developers. I hadn’t any problems with the installation process, since it’s well documented.
Time for testing. I created a new user and a new article. I really like the markdown editor used to write posts. The interface looks great too. In my opinion, Ghost is very promising, many things are still missing, but everything should be there in version 1.0. So it’s highly possible that I will quit WordPress for Ghost.
