How to run .NET Umbraco using MacOS
Learn how to install .NET6 on a Mac to build and develop sites using the Open Source ASP.NET CMS Umbraco. We have done this before in a previous video but this required you to understand Docker and setup a SQL server to use for the database. In version 10+ of Umbraco we use a file based cross platform embedded database SQLite. Meaning it's really simple to get up and running on a Mac now.
We have previously done this using Docker in this video here • Run .NETCore CMS Umbraco on a MacBook but trust me this is now a lot simpler !
Instructions
Install .NET Core SDK for Mac (x64 for Intel and Arm64 for Apple Silicon)
Open terminal & verify install with command 'dotnet'

Navigate to a folder in terminal to create your project
Run command 'dotnet new umbraco --name UmbracoOnAMac'
Change directory with terminal using 'cd UmbracoOnAMac'
Run command 'dotnet run'

Follow installer UI
Happy Hacking 😃
