You should follow the instructions here to get to the latest version: How can I upgrade Ghost 0.11 to 1.5.1?

After you've done that, you can use ghost-cli for future upgrades.

Correct, we did not add ghost-cli to our installer until v 1.5.1.

Thank you Sean for the fast reply. I guess this is new since I couldn't see ghost cli in my 1.4 install.

For anyone following i'd like to add that for this to work you need to do the following:

Navigate to your ghost apps root:

cd webapps/[application_root]

Add the application’s bin directory to your PATH environment variable:

export PATH=$PWD/bin/:$PATH

Navigate to your ghost directory:

cd ghost

Use ghost-cli:

ghost update --no-setup-linux-user

*edited to make user user dont have trouble updating

Thanks, this was helpful. My versions were pretty far apart, so I also needed to update node and ghost-cli. See https://docs.webfaction.com/software/nodejs.html for instructions on updating node, and run npm install -g ghost-cli to update ghost-cli.

If you get a system error upon restarting ghost

Message: The path /home/username/webapps/ is not readable by other users on the system

follow the steps above by hakimjonas to get access to ghost-cli, then:

Navigate to your ghost apps root
Add the application’s bin directory to your PATH environment variable. Enter export PATH=$PWD/bin/:$PATH and press Enter
Navigate to your ghost directory (cd ghost)
start ghost with ghost start --no-setup-linux-user

the --no-setup-linux-user is available during install, but works to skip permission checks at restart too.
