Hi @invoker

Thanks for using Bitnami Ghost!

From the error log, it seems that the ghost-cli binary is either missing or not updated. Have you followed these steps before executing the ghost update command?

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/ghost/administration/update-cli/

Could you please execute the following command?

$ ls -la /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/lib/node_modules/ghost-cli/bin/ghost

I have followed the guide and tried to upgrade the stack from the version you are running and did not face any issues:

$ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/lib
$ sudo mv package.json package.json.back
$ sudo npm install ghost-cli
