# Installing Umbraco Forms

Installing Umbraco Forms

Umbraco contains the **Forms** section, by default. You will see a similar interface, when you click on the **Forms** section in the **Umbraco Backoffice**.

To install the Umbraco Forms package (**Umbraco.Forms**), follow these steps:

1. Identify the Umbraco CMS version your project is running.
2. Find a compatible version of Umbraco Forms that matches your Umbraco CMS version. A list of Umbraco Forms versions can be found on [nuget.org](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Umbraco.Forms#versions-body-tab).
3. Run the following command on a command prompt of your choice, replacing `<version_number>` with the appropriate version identified above:

   ```cli
   dotnet add package Umbraco.Forms --version <version_number>
   ```
4. Restart the web application using the following command:

   ```cli
    dotnet run
   ```

## Start Building Forms

Once the installation is successful, you will see a similar screen in the Forms section:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-forms/13.latest/installation/install.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
