10. In order to facilitate our day-to-day management, you can register ghost as a Linux service (add Ghost as INIT.D), which can also allow Ghost to run quietly in the background.

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Config/master/init.d/ghost \
-o/etc/init.d/ghost
Vi/etc/init.d/ghost
Change the directory behind the Ghost_root to your own ghost directory, this is/home/www
