Hey @Super1Windcloud , thanks for the report. I suspect this is actually coming from the yarn dependency, not ghost-cli itself. (Yarn includes a script with that syntax, but ghost-cli does not.)

I'm commenting to make a suggestion, not offer a fix for this bug, sorry.

I do all of my development work (both theme and core) on a Windows laptop, but I do it with WSL2. That lets you run a Linux environment (without dual booting), and support for Linux is going to be a lot more consistent than support for Windows. There just aren't as many people developing on Windows, and so the bugs tend to persist longer.

Related issue (probably the same bug?) here:

Maybe, WIndows+scoop makes my work more comfortable, a perfect replacement for macOS

@Super1Windcloud it looks like you're trying to install Ghost using the CLI. For support on this, the forum is the best place to get help 🙂

Maybe I can install it normally using cmd, but I only like Powershell7, so I have given up the idea of ​​using ghost for the time being.
