# Installing Umbraco Commerce

Learn how to install Umbraco Commerce into your Umbraco CMS implementation.

You can also find information about how to upgrade and how to install and activate your Umbraco Commerce license.

## NuGet Package Installation

Umbraco Commerce is available via [NuGet.Org](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Umbraco.Commerce/).

To install Umbraco Commerce via NuGet you can run the following command directly in the NuGet Manager Console window:

```bash
PM> dotnet add package Umbraco.Commerce
```

Alternatively, you can also find and install the NuGet package via the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio. You will see a number of packages available, however, you will want to install the main **Umbraco Commerce** package.
