Tried to upgrade Ghost,  since Ghost 2.0 was released , first I need to upgrade to the latest Ghost 1.0 version.

It persists even though I upgraded my node to v8. Confused. Nobody has the same problem like mine after searching through the issue list.

After I found .yarn-metadata.json was empty, I removed the file and tried again. Everything started to working like usual. 🎉!
