It removes the manual, error-prone setup of installing Umbraco CMS by generating a complete unattended installation script and running it automatically.

  • Unattended installation: Applies unattended defaults with configurable database type and admin credentials.
  • Optional package installation: Adds specified packages (optionally with versions) such as uSync and Umbraco.Forms during the install.
  • Use Case: Standing up a local or test Umbraco CMS environment in a consistent way for demo environments, validation runs, or reproducible CI-style setups.

Quick Start

Run the psw unattended install command with the required -d flag and include --auto-run to generate and execute the installation script for your target database type.
