What you need for this book

To host a Ghost blog, you need to choose a hosting platform: either based on your own hardware, renting a virtual private server, or via a dedicated Ghost hosting service.

To install manually, you need a computer with Node.js installed using either Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux (Ubuntu and CentOS are demonstrated).

To theme, you can work in any text editor of your choice, though Sublime Text is used throughout the book.
