Orchard CMS Released by Microsoft

Oct 10, 2011 orchard David Hayden

The Orchard Content Management System ( CMS ) by Microsoft was released on January 12, 2011. Orchard CMS is a free, open-source, community-driven application perfect for building small business websites. Orchard has built-in support for users and roles, pages, blogs, tagging, commenting, searching, and other standard website functionality.

Orchard is very extensible with the ability to create and choose between custom themes, add and create new widgets that can be placed on various zones within your website, and support for custom modules, parts, and types that can both add new functionality and enhance existing functionality on the website.

Orchard CMS uses what we consider best-of-breed open-source technology: ASP.NET MVC, Autofac, DynamicProxy, jQuery, Lucene, NHibernate, Razor, and other technologies that have proven themselves throughout the .NET Developer Community.

If you would like to install Orchard, you have a few options. First, you can install it from the Web Platform Installer. The Web Platform Installer is by far the easiest way to install Orchard. Installing Orchard via the Web Platform Installer is as easy as navigating to applications and choosing "Add" to add Orchard CMS to your computer or server.

 

Installing Orchard CMS Web Platform Installer

 

Another option is to download and install Orchard from Orchard.CodePlex.com. This options requires a bit more skill. You have the choice of downloading the source code or downloading just the runtime bits. Download the runtime bits if you are interested in manually installing Orchard on your desktop PC or server and want a bit more control than what you would normally have with the Web Platform Installer. Download the source code if you are interested in developing modules and themes for Orchard.

If you are a web developer and wish to build Orchard Websites as well as custom Orchard Themes and Modules, you can install Orchard CMS with WebMatrix.

Once you install Orchard and run it for the first time, you will be prompted to configure Orchard for the first-time.
