Right, for Umbraco version above v8, you need to install the packages using NuGet. The installation command specific for each package is in the top right corner of the package page.
The .zip files you've downloaded are for Umbraco versions 7 and 8. Hope that helps :)
Plugins like on Wordpress
Hi Umbracians,
I am pretty new to using Umbraco, so my question is: are there any plugins like WordPress, that I can use for my website? If yes, how do I do that?
Thanks in advanced.
Hi
Here's a link to the list of all publicly available Umbraco packages - https://our.umbraco.com/packages/
I understand but do I just download and it will automatically be saved to my website or do I need to do something else?
I have tried to download but nothing happened except it downloaded a file on my pc.
Which version of Umbraco are you working with?
It says Version: 9.5.0-rc001

Ok so where am I looking at to find NuGet
Top right https://our.umbraco.com/packages/developer-tools/umbraco-forms/
dotnet add package Umbraco.FormsYou want to type it into the package manager console or just in any command line terminal.So I click download and I got a zip file and then what will I do with folder?
You don't download the zip.
Please, read https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/110408-plugins-like-on-wordpress#comment-341900 again :)
You need to use the command terminal for the version you're using.
So it's in here right? Sorry but I am totally new to this :)
Sure, this is good but you need to make sure that you get the same major version of the package to match the Umbraco version.
Okay so what do I do from here? Where to click?

Okay I see, this is more complicated than WordPress :(
I need to download Visual Studio and I need to code it .
I hoped it was like clicking on a button and then make it active.
Umbraco requires some developer experience to work with :)
Okay because I do know the basic in HTML & CSS but otherwise I am more a UI/UX Designer, but I would love to learn and do some developer work.
Does it mean that everything even the module etc. are made with Visual Studio?
Visual studio, vs code or any other IDE, really.
We have a bunch of tutorials and guides in the documentation section here, so I recommend that you check it out :)
You can also try searching for Paul Seal on YouTube. He's recorded a few playlists about how to develop a whole website in different Umbraco versions.
Thanks Lindow, I appreciate it!
No problem :)
