Hi, I'm creating my first ever website! I've used Umbraco in my previous job, but an agency set everything up and I didn't have to do a lot. I'm now creating a personal website and thought I'd use Umbraco as I liked it but I'm stuck already! I'm following this: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Tutorials/Creating-Basic-Site/Getting-Started/ and am stuck here: You need to reinstall Umbraco if you can see the starter kit – I can't work out how to do it!
Also, how do I add my domain to Umbraco? in my previous job, I logged in as companywebsite/Umbraco to do all the edits and I'd like to do that again, I've bought a domain but don't know how to add it/rename my site as its currently a localhost URL.
Welcome to the umbraco community, I would love to help make your journey into Umbraco as easy and straight forward as possible.
Could I get some more information about where your currently trying to install umbraco.
What version of umbraco are you installing?
Did you install a starter kit?
you dont need to add the domain to umbraco as this is done automatically when you publish your finished files to your server. Then you can access the Umbraco backoffice via www.yourdomain.com/umbraco
Its Umbraco 8 and I think I did install the starter kit (or it was already there, it was a blur of excitement!) I thought I could work it out myself then decided to follow the instructions which said i need to uninstall it and then I got lost.
You've done well so far, and you've managed to successfully install Umbraco
were you planning to create a new template or modify the starter kit.
if you wanted to remove it then you can go to the packages section in the backoffice and remove the starter kit, as its only a package, might save you reinstalling umbraco.
Visual Studio Code with the IISExpress extension or Microsoft Visual
Studio 2017 version 15.9.6+
SQL CE, SQL Server 2012 and higher
Ability to set file permissions to include create/read/write (or
better) for the user that "owns" the Application Pool for your site
(NETWORK SERVICE, typically) Note
Complete newby stuck right at the beginning!

Hi Ali,
I followed this page to install umbraco - https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Getting-Started/Setup/Install/ So I've got visual studio but have no idea how to use it as all my previous experience of Umbraco was just editing on the website no coding or anything.
Its Umbraco 8 and I think I did install the starter kit (or it was already there, it was a blur of excitement!) I thought I could work it out myself then decided to follow the instructions which said i need to uninstall it and then I got lost.
Ahhhh that makes sense with the domain.
Thanks :)
Ok Bex
