Screencast: Installing Umbraco

Monday, February 01, 2010 by Sebastiaan Janssen

Rather than making a long post with a lot of images, I decided to do something new for this post: a nice little 6 minute screencast!

It's just a quick run through of how I create a new Umbraco installs on my dev machines. It's easy!

I noticed after the recording that I didn't change the path for the database files. During the creation of the new database, you can easily change the path of where the database files are stored here (buttons marked yellow):

 

newdatabase

 

I tend to mumble a little, I'll work on that for future screencasts (also, I didn't shave, sorry). ;-)

Hopefully this will help some people setting up their Umbraco install manually.

    Monday, February 01, 2010Nice video Sebastiaan,

    I am sure there will be a lot of new people out there who will find this useful, I know I would have done when I first started out with Umbraco :)

    What software did you use to make your screencast?

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Monday, February 01, 2010Thanks Chris.

    I used ScreenToaster. It's a bit wonky and I had to do a retake because the sound stopped recording halfway through. But it's nice and free and doesn't require any software installed.

    I also like the picture in picture effect, seeing someone's talking adds a lot to a screencast IMO.
