Step 1

Open the command-line interface.

You can do this by navigating to any folder on your machine and typing cmd into the browser bar followed by the enter key.

Step 2

Copy-paste the following scripts one by one. You can give the solution and project different names if you wish, these are only an example.

# Ensure we have the compatible Umbraco templates
dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates::17.* --force

# Create new solution
dotnet new sln --name "Your website name"

# Create new Umbraco project
dotnet new umbraco --force -n "Your website name" --friendly-name "Admin" --email "[email protected]" --password "1234567890" --development-database-type SQLite

# Add project to solution
dotnet sln add "Your website name"

# Add ByteAnt.ByteEditor package to project
dotnet add "Your website name" package ByteAnt.ByteEditor

# Run
dotnet run --project "Your website name"

Step 3

Once the script has finished running, you will see a console message similar to this:

[22:59:11 INF] Now listening on: https://localhost:6858

Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the localhost URL in the console message.

ByteEditor Website Builder and Umbraco CMS will now be fully running on your local machine.

⚠️You may see "Website being upgraded" message when launching the site in your browser. Wait about a minute and refresh the page in your browser. This is a necessary step to install ByteEditor content into your local database.
