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
ghost install local
or on a server run the full install, including automatic SSL setup using LetsEncrypt - Production install docs
ghost install
