Installation
Installation is a breeze, the preferred way to install Archetype is via Nuget (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Archetype/).
Type: install-package archetype
in your Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager.
The other way is to use the normal Umbraco Package install method with the download found here: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/archetype
If you just want the binaries and none of the frontend stuff:
Type: install-package Archetype.Binaries
in your Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager.

Courier
@leekelleher has gratiously donated his time to make a Courier extension to use Archetype with Umbraco as a Service (UaaS). You can install it here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/archetype.courier
