+{% endhint %}
+
+The[ release candidate is available on NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Umbraco.Cms/15.0.0-rc1).
+
+1. Install the Umbraco dotnet template for the Release Candidate.
+
+```
+dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates::15.0.0-rc*
+```
+
+2. Create a new Umbraco project.
+
+```
+dotnet new umbraco -n MyCustomUmbracoProject
+```
+
+3. Navigate to the newly created folder.
+
+```
+cd MyCustomUmbracoProject
+```
+
+4. Build the project.
+
+```
+dotnet build
+```
+
+5. Run the project.
+
+```
+dotnet run
+```
+
