Fiercely independent, professional publishing. Ghost is the most popular open source, headless Node.js CMS which already works with all the tools you know and love.

The easiest way to get a production instance deployed is with our official **[Ghost(Pro)](https://ghost.org/pricing/)** managed service. It takes about 2 minutes to launch a new site with worldwide CDN, backups, security and maintenance all done for you. For most people this ends up being the best value option because of [how much time it saves](https://ghost.org/docs/hosting/) — and 100% of revenue goes to the Ghost Foundation; funding the maintenance and further development of the project itself. So you’ll be supporting open source software *and* getting a great service! # Quickstart install If you want to run your own instance of Ghost, in most cases the best way is to use our **CLI tool** ``` npm install ghost-cli -g ``` Then, if installing locally add the `local` flag to get up and running in under a minute - [Local install docs](https://ghost.org/docs/install/local/) ``` ghost install local ``` or on a server run the full install, including automatic SSL setup using LetsEncrypt - [Production install docs](https://ghost.org/docs/install/ubuntu/) ``` ghost install ``` Check out our [official documentation](https://ghost.org/docs/) for more information about our [recommended hosting stack](https://ghost.org/docs/hosting/) & properly [upgrading Ghost](https://ghost.org/docs/update/), plus everything you need to develop your own Ghost [themes](https://ghost.org/docs/themes/) or work with [our API](https://ghost.org/docs/content-api/). ### Contributors & advanced developers For anyone wishing to contribute to Ghost or to hack/customize core files we recommend following our full development setup guides: [Contributor guide](https://ghost.org/docs/contributing/) • [Developer setup](https://ghost.org/docs/install/source/) # Ghost sponsors We'd like to extend big thanks to our sponsors and partners who make Ghost possible.
