Orchard Core

Orchard Core consists of two distinct projects:

• Orchard Core Framework: An application framework for building modular, multi-tenant applications on ASP.NET Core.
• Orchard Core CMS: A Web Content Management System (CMS) built on top of the Orchard Core Framework.

Build Status

Stable (master):

Nightly (dev):

Status

RC 1

The software is almost ready for final release. No feature development or enhancement of the software is undertaken; tightly scoped bug fixes are the only code you're allowed to write in this phase, and even then only for the most heinous and debilitating of bugs.

Here is a more detailed roadmap.

Getting Started

• Clone the repository using the command git clone https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore.git and checkout the dev branch.

Command line

• Install the latest version of the .NET Core SDK from this page https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core
• Next, navigate to D:\OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore.Cms.Web or wherever your folder is on the commandline in Administrator mode.
• Call dotnet run.
• Then open the http://localhost:5000 URL in your browser.

Visual Studio

• Download Visual Studio 2019 (any edition) from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
• Open OrchardCore.sln and wait for Visual Studio to restore all Nuget packages
• Ensure OrchardCore.Cms.Web is the startup project and run it

Docker

• Run docker run --name orchardcms orchardproject/orchardcore-cms-linux:latest
