# Ucommerce Templates

To get started, we recommend using one of our .NET templates. A template will create a project with the correct dependencies and scaffold basic configuration for your application.

To install our templates package and get access to all templates:

* Open a terminal and run the following command:

```
dotnet new install Ucommerce.Templates
```

Once the templates package has been installed, a new project can be created using one of the available templates. Depending on the type of solution and use case, the following templates are available:

<table data-card-size="large" data-view="cards" data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th align="center"></th><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center"><strong>Headless</strong></td><td><ul><li>Headless API</li><li>Administration Interface</li><li>SQL and Elasticsearch via Docker</li></ul></td><td>User touchpoints are decoupled from backend services. Recommended for most projects.</td><td><a href="/pages/cAqPPEalGBJAMNoxW55V">/pages/cAqPPEalGBJAMNoxW55V</a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><strong>MVC</strong></td><td><ul><li>In-Process Libraries</li><li>Administration Interface</li><li>SQL and Elasticsearch via Docker</li><li>MVC implementation examples</li></ul></td><td>User touchpoints in the same process as backend services. A simpler but less flexible architecture. Recommended for quick client proof-of-concept projects.</td><td><a href="/pages/O6YaN7MDcZMsG5XK1S6l">/pages/O6YaN7MDcZMsG5XK1S6l</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.ucommerce.net/readme/getting-started/ucommerce-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
