    installing Umbraco with VS Code

    I'm very new to Umbraco and trying to install it.

    I followed the guide and it said:

    1. Download and install Webmatrix
    2. Download and unzip Umbraco

    but when I click on install Webmatrix > Microsoft has replaced it with 'Visual Studio Code'. So I've installed VS Code, but I can't find instructions on how to install Umbraco on this?

    Hi mark.

    If you are new to developing Umbraco, i would really recommend WebMatrix since it gets you started pretty quickly. You can even install Umbraco directly from within WebMatrix.

    Umbraco recommends WebMatrix on their installer page, but I saw that Microsoft recommends VC Code on that page, but you find a link to the WebMatrix installer a little further down on this page: https://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/

    enter image description here

    As soon as you have WebMatrix installed on your computer, just right click on the un-zipped Umbraco folder and click "Open as a Web Site.." :

    enter image description here

    or from WebMatrix welcome page. Click "New" > "App Gallery" > "Umbraco CMS".

    enter image description here

    and run the application from WebMatrix, you will then see the Umbraco installer.

    Good luck!

    Hi Mark and welcome to the Umbraco developer forum :)

    In addition to Dennis nice post above I would just like to mention that you can see some documentation on how to install Umbraco in the documentation section of the forum as well - You can find it here https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Getting-Started/Setup/Install/

    I have not gained that much experience with Visual studio code yet but I don't think it's currently possibly to install Umbraco using that editor - But luckily it's still possible to download Webmatrix as Dennis pointed out above :-)

    Happy umbracoing!

    /Jan
