Orchard for Windows

Orchard 3.1.0 runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. The installer is the easiest option, and it also registers the leaf icon for .orch files in File Explorer.

Download Orchard 3.1.0 for Windows (.msi)

Install with the installer

  • Download the .msi above and run it.
  • It installs the orch command, adds it to your PATH, and sets the .orch file icon.
  • Open a new terminal (PowerShell or Windows Terminal) and run orch --version.

Install with PowerShell

One line in PowerShell downloads and installs the latest build.

Install from a zip

If you would rather not run an installer, download the archive and add it to your PATH.

  • Unzip it to a folder you control, for example %LOCALAPPDATA%\Orchard.
  • Add that folder to your PATH in System Settings, then open a new terminal.

Verify your download

Check the file against the published SHA256SUMS.

$Get-FileHash .\Orchard-3.1.0-x86_64.msi -Algorithm SHA256
First launch. These builds are not yet code signed, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn you. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Signed installers are coming.

Update and uninstall

  • Update by running a newer installer, or re-running the PowerShell command.
  • Uninstall from Settings, Apps, the same way as any other program.
