+# Creating an Orchard Core CMS website
+
+In this guide you will setup Orchard Core as a Content Management System from a project template.
+
+## What you will need
+
+- The current version of the .NET Core SDK. You can download it from here [https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core).
+- A text editor and a terminal where you can type dotnet commands.
+
+## Creating the projects
+
+There are different ways to create sites and modules for Orchard Core. You can learn more about them [here](../../templates/README.md). In this guide we will use our "Code Generation Templates".
+
+You can install the latest released templates using this command:
+
+```dotnet new -i OrchardCore.ProjectTemplates::1.0.0-*```
+
+!!! note
+    To use the development branch of the template add `--nuget-source https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json`
+
+Create an empty folder that will contain your site. Open a terminal, navigate to that folder and run this:
+
+```dotnet new occms -n MySite```
+
+This creates a new Ochard Core CMS project in a folder named `MySite`.
+
+## Setting up the site
+
+The application has been created by the template, but it has not been setup yet.
+
+Run the application by executing this command:
+
+`dotnet run --project .\MySite\MySite.csproj`
+
+!!! note
+    If you are using the development branch of the templates, run `dotnet restore .\MySite\MySite.csproj --source https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json` before running the application
+
+Your application should now be running and contain the open ports:
+
+```
+Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
+Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
+Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
+```
+
+Open a browser on <https://localhost:5001>, it should display the setup screen.
+
+In order to build a site with all the features of a CMS with are going to use the __Blog__ recipe. Recipes contains a list of modules and steps to configure an Orchard Core website.
+
+Fill the form and select the __Blog__ recipe and __SQLite__ for the database.
+
+Submit the form. A few seconds later you should be looking at a Blog Site.
+In order to configure it and start writing content you can go to <https://localhost:5001/admin>.
+
+## Summary
+
+You just created an Orchard Core CMS powered blog engine.
