The main CMS is on the MIT license and is an open source project. This means you can use the CMS on your own environment with no problems at all, you could install it into a project via nuget, or via unzipping the main release zip, or even forking the git hub repository and compiling it yourself.
For reference, the latter option isn't recommended as you potentially loose (or make harder) things like upgrades. Generally, the best approach did installing it via nuget into a web application or web site project in visual studio and the deploying to your hosting environment.
In the docs there are details about requirements, such as this only works on windows servers. If you are hosting in azure then there are a few more bits of config tweeks that are needed as well.
