Another "Unable to find storage adapter ghost-storage-github"

Hello,
I created a Ghost instance under /var/www/ghost directly on Ubuntu OS.
I tried to follow the README guide but when I restarted Ghost, I got the following error :

However, the adapter exists under the specified folder (specified folder on README) :

user@ubuntu:~/ghost/current$ tree content/adapters/
content/adapters/
├── README.md
└── storage
    └── ghost-storage-github
        ├── LICENSE.txt
        ├── README.md
        ├── build
        │   ├── index.js
        │   └── utils.js
        └── package.json

Plus, I tried to copy the adapter under /var/www/ghost/content/adapters/ :

user@ubuntu:~/ghost$ tree content/adapters/ -L 2
content/adapters/
├── ghost-storage-github
│   ├── LICENSE.txt
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── build
│   ├── package.json
└── storage

None of both solutions work and I am a bit clueless 😭

Thanks in advance for your help.

Also discussed in #37. However, the root cause is not the same since Ghost is not on Docker but directly installed on the server.
