Resources and links for older versions of Umbrco CMS.
This documentation platform covers only major versions of the Umbraco CMS since Umbraco 9. If you are using an older version of Umbraco CMS, you will need to go elsewhere.
The documentation for Umbraco 7 and 8 lives on our.umbraco.com.
Umbraco 7 Documentation
Umbraco 8 Documentation
Umbraco EOL Documentation
The Umbraco UI should work in all modern browsers:
Chrome (Latest)
Edge (Chromium)
Firefox (Latest)
Safari (Latest)
Below you can find the minimum requirements to run Umbraco 10 on your machine:
One of the .NET 6 - Supported OS versions
One of the following .NET Tools or Editors:
Visual Studio Code with the IISExpress extension
Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 version 17.0 or higher.
Optional: JetBrains Rider version 2022.3 and higher
When using Visual Studio as your primary Integrated Development Environment (IDE) we recommend finding and downloading the Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Visual Studio.
As Umbraco releases are aligned to the .NET release cadence, it's also aligned with Microsoft's Long-term support policy for the underlying framework. For the best experience, we would recommend that you ensure to be on latest and supported Microsoft versions to run and host Umbraco CMS:
Ubuntu Supported distributions and other Linux Packages
For the above, as Umbraco version 10 is based on .NET 6 you will need to follow the .NET 6 supported versions.
As Umbraco version 10 is based on .NET 6 follow the requirements for .NET 6.
For more information, see the Host and deploy ASP.NET Core applications article in the Microsoft documentation.
You can use Umbraco Cloud to manage the hosting infrastructure. All Umbraco Cloud plans are hosted on Microsoft Azure, which gives your site a proven and solid foundation.
Ability to set file permissions to include create/read/write (or better) for the user that "owns" the Application Pool for your site. This would typically be NETWORK SERVICE.
The database account used in the connection string will need permissions to read and write from tables. It will also require permission to create schema during installs and upgrades:
The db_owner
role has full permissions on the database.
To use an account with more restricted permissions, the db_datareader
and db_datawriter
roles will be needed for normal use to read from and write to the database. The db_ddladmin
role, which can modify the database schema, is required for installs and upgrades of the CMS and/or any packages that create database tables.
For more information on the Database-level roles, see the Microsoft documentation.
For more information on how to create a database user via SQL, you can check the Microsoft documentation.
We have made custom Umbraco templates that are available for use with dotnet new
. The steps below will demonstrate the minimum amount of actions required to get you going and set up an Umbraco project from the command line using .NET templates.
Install the latest .NET SDK.
Run dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates
to install the project templates.
The solution is packaged up into the NuGet package Umbraco.Templates and can be installed into the dotnet CLI.
Once that is complete, you can see that Umbraco was added to the list of available projects types by running
dotnet new --list
:
In some cases the templates may silently fail to install (usually this is an issue with NuGet sources). If this occurs you can try specifying the NuGet source in the command by running dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates --nuget-source "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json"
.
To get help on a project template with dotnet new
run the following command:
dotnet new umbraco -h
From that command's output, you will get a better understanding of what are the default template options, as well as those command-line flags specific to Umbraco that you can use (as seen below):
Create a new empty Umbraco solution using MS SQL Azure/Server:
dotnet new umbraco -n MyCustomUmbracoProject
You will now have a new project with the name MyCustomUmbracoProject, or the name you chose to use. The new project can be opened and run using your favorite IDE or you can continue using the CLI commands.
If you want to create a solution file as well you can run the commands below.
dotnet new sln
dotnet sln add MyCustomUmbracoProject
Navigate to the newly created project folder:
cd MyCustomUmbracoProject
Build and run the new Umbraco .Net Core project:
dotnet build
dotnet run
The project is now running on the Kestrel server and has assigned a free available port to run it on. Look in the terminal window after the dotnet run
command to see the URLs.
The next step is to run through the Umbraco CMS installation. If you chose to use MS SQL Server/Azure you will need to add your connection string during this setup process to get access to the Umbraco backoffice.
All the fundamentals of using Umbraco - from making a local installation to extending the backend.

On the website, you can configure your options to generate the required script to run. Click on the Install Script tab to get the commands you need to paste into the terminal. This tab also includes the commands for adding a starter kit or unattended install which creates the database for you.
There are numerous ways to install Umbraco. Below, you can find links to different installation methods that will help you easily install and set up Umbraco projects.
.NET CLI, included with the .NET Software Development Kit (SDK), can be used to install or uninstall .NET templates from NuGet. This can be done by using the dotnet new
command on any OS. The underlying Template Engine enables the creation of custom templates which make new project bootstrapping much faster. With a few steps you can have an Umbraco project running without the need for a code editor.
Visual Studio is used to write native code and managed code supported by .NET and many others. Its built-in tools provide the ability to develop and execute applications for any platform. Developers will be able to install Umbraco without ever having to leave Visual Studio.
