Error In Compilation For Dokku: line 57: npm: command not found

[sgrobert]

Hi there @metasansana,

Thank you for creating this Buildpack. I've been trying at Dokku for a while and wanted to integrate Ghost into a Dokku App, but found that the common way is through a Docker Image, which doesn't allow me to update / do custom edits within the Ghost install. So I'm thankful that you have built this option to enable edits / updates on my local machine to be pushed to a Dokku server.

I saw that this repo has not been updated for quite a long time. However, it is sort of the only lifeline I am seeing to help me with either a (1) Local Git Push to Dokku or (2) Private Git Repo Sync from Github to Dokku.

I sincerely hope you can help to verify on the error and see if you can help to check what is the "line 57: npm: command not found"

Is it potentially related to https://ghost.org/docs/install/local/ via https://github.com/metasansana/buildpack-ghost-cms-theme/blob/master/bin/compile ?

Hope you hear from you soon so I can resolve this soon as I have been at this problem for the last 2-3 days! Much appreciated! Thank you!

Currently running on:

• DigitialOcean Dokku Droplet
• dokku version 0.24.3

Seems like you are missing the nodejs buildpack from the instructions on that buildpack in your .buildpacks file. Seems like it should be as follows:

https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
https://github.com/metasansana/buildpack-ghost-cms-theme

Mind posting what your .buildpacks file contents are? Order matters, as they are run in order specified.
