Thanks for the cool tool @prjseal! This may not be your focus, but I was really hoping that it would let me switch major versions without having to go figure out what the most recent major version was. For example, I was hoping this would work: Currently, the most recent version of v10 is 10.8.4, so I was hoping it would build the script for that version. What it does instead is it ignores the provided version altogether and produces a script without a version indicator at all. |

Personally I always use PSW to install some It might be nice if there could be a simple version of that on the our-page to make it even easier for people to install latest LTS or STS version. I guess that the “avarage” developer coming to Umbraco just wants to try the latest STS or LTS version not fiddle with specific versions. |

@nul800sebastiaan Yeh, I know =D If you "follow the path" of someone who has never seen Umbraco and try to get started. https://our.umbraco.com/download/ The "Show install guidance" button takes you to the docs: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/v/13.latest-lts/fundamentals/setup/install That says do run:
This is for v13 and since v14 is out - it would install v14. I mean something simple like, when clicking the button "Show install guidance", a box with the snippet that you posted a screenshot of would be shown immediately for the latest version on that major. =D |

There is currently only one
Umbraco.Templates
dotnet template, and it's targeted to a specific version of Umbraco.Right now I have
Umbraco.Templates::10.2.1
installed, which means that I can only install Umbraco 10.2.1.If I want to install a different version of Umbraco, I need to install a different version of the Template. This is a pain.
The whole point of the template is that the resulting project's code changes based on the options we specify. Is there any reason that this couldn't include the version of Umbraco itself in a friendly dropdown (instead of the text box, which doesn't really work)?
