- Start with Git: check out the N2 repository located at http://github.com/n2cms/n2cms. Note: We don't recommend using Github's archive formats (tgz, zip). Using the archive formats will make your installation more difficult to update as Git's patching infrastructure will not be available.
- Start with Nuget: install the requisite Nuget package from within your Visual Studio project:
- n2cms_webforms
- n2cms_mvc
- n2cms_dinamico
