Ghost is looking in node_modules for the content directory.

I'm trying to mimic your setup here and I keep hitting this error when trying to start it up

ERROR: ENOENT, readdir '/Users/jon/Sites/site.dev/node_modules/ghost/content/themes'

Which tells me it's not picking up the content directory at the root, any thoughts that might be helpful in getting this type of setup working? Any special config.js options needed for this type of setup?

I've figured out I need a later version than 0.4.1 to do this, so it's now working, but it looks to still be using the content directory inside node_modules/ghost/content... Is there a special configuration directive to get it to look at the content directory at the site root?

Don't mind me, just talking myself through it 😄

Figured it out, there is a path.contentPath config option now in the config.sample.js that I missed after updating my ghost install.

👍

Good to go now.

Excellent sleuthing! For future reference I created this wiki page with all NPM related info: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/wiki/Using-Ghost-as-a-NPM-module
