Installation
You can install Articulate as an Umbraco package, either by downloading the package from our.umbraco.com and installing a local package, or by finding Articulate in the package repository in the Umbraco back office.
Once installed, Articulate will create all of the required documents and also a sample blog post.
To manually install a new Articulate blog, you will first need to install the package so the correct document and data types are installed. After that all you need to do is create an 'Articulate' node type in your Umbraco content tree. Articulate will automatically then create all required child nodes. Then all you need to do is publish these nodes and you will have a new Articulate blog root.
If for some reason the Authors or Archive nodes are not set to "List Views", you will need to manually set this in your document type settings for both "Articulate Authors" and "Articulate Archive" doc types - both of these need to be list views
You can install Articulate via Nuget
PM> Install-Package Articulate
Since Nuget cannot install Umbraco data, you'll need to use the Articulate dashboard to create the default Articulate document types, data types and content structure. 
In fact this dashboard can be used to upgrade installations too and will put all the schema elements in sync like data types, document types, etc… with the latest release
