The Umbraco UI works in all modern browsers:
Chrome (Latest)
Edge (Chromium)
Firefox (Latest)
Safari (Latest)
Below you can find the minimum requirements to run Umbraco 15 on your machine:
One of the .NET 8 - Supported OS versions
One of the following .NET Tools or Editors:
Visual Studio Code with the IISExpress extension
Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8 or higher.
Optional: JetBrains Rider version 2022.3 and higher
Node.js version 20.11.0 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 the latest and supported Microsoft versions to run and host Umbraco CMS:
Ubuntu Supported distributions and other Linux Packages
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 permission 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.
