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

Beta

The software is complete enough for external testing -- that is, by groups outside the organization or community that developed the software. Beta software is usually feature complete, but may have known limitations or bugs. Betas are either closed (private) and limited to a specific set of users, or they can be open to the general public.

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.

• Call dotnet run.
• Then open the http://localhost:5000 URL in your browser.

Visual Studio 2017

• Download Visual Studio 2017 (any edition) from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
