Unable to install Ghost on D.O.

[n-gon]

Hi! I'm completely new to this, I'm a writer, not a developer, and I've been happy to simply follow the instructions on this page. However, for the last few days, I haven't been able to install Ghost on Digital Ocean with these instructions despite multiple attempts. I follow all of them to the T but when I type ghost install and hit enter, I get the following output:

Checking system Node.js version
✔ Checking logged in user
✔ Checking current folder permissions
✔ Checking operating system compatibility
✔ Checking for a MySQL installation
✔ Checking memory availability
✖ Checking for latest Ghost version
A ProcessError occurred.

Environment: production
Command: 'ghost install'

Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

Please refer to https://docs.ghost.org/v1/docs/troubleshooting#section-cli-errors for troubleshooting.

I'm trying to do this on a 1GB Digital Ocean VPS (Ubuntu 16.04), Node 8.11.4 and Ghost CLI 1.9.3.
