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.

Stable (release/1.4):

Nightly (main):

The software is finished -- and by finished, we mean there are no show-stopping, little-children-killing bugs in it. That we know of. There are probably numerous lower-priority bugs triaged into the next point release or service pack, as well.

Here is a more detailed roadmap.

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

• Install the latest version of the .NET SDK from this page https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
• Next, navigate to ./OrchardCore/src/OrchardCore.Cms.Web.
• Call dotnet run.
• Then open the http://localhost:5000 URL in your browser.

• Download Visual Studio 2022 (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

• Run docker run --name orchardcms -p 8080:80 orchardproject/orchardcore-cms-linux:latest
