# Recipes
|
|
|
|
Silverstripe CMS is powered by a system of components in the form of Composer packages. It consists of two types of
|
|
package:
|
|
|
|
- **Modules**, which provide pieces of functionality (such as `silverstripe/cms` and `silverstripe/framework`)
|
|
- **Recipes**, which group related Modules together to make them easier to install and release.
|
|
|
|
When we announce a new version of Silverstripe CMS and publish a changelog for it, we refer to a new set of _Recipe_
|
|
versions, which include new versions of some or all of their associated Modules. The easiest way to keep up to date with
|
|
new Silverstripe CMS releases is to depend on one of the core Recipes:
|
|
|
|
- [`silverstripe/recipe-core`](https://packagist.org/packages/silverstripe/recipe-core): Contains only the base
|
|
framework, without the admin UI or CMS features.
|
|
- [`silverstripe/recipe-cms`](https://packagist.org/packages/silverstripe/recipe-cms): Includes `recipe-core`, and adds
|
|
the admin UI and CMS features. We recommend specifying this recipe in your dependencies.
|
|
- [`silverstripe/installer`](https://packagist.org/packages/silverstripe/installer): Includes `recipe-cms`, and adds a
|
|
default theme for the front-end of your site. We recommend creating new projects based on this recipe (
|
|
via `composer create-project silverstripe/installer myproject ^4`).
|
|
|
|
When determining whether you are running the latest version of Silverstripe CMS, it is easier to refer to the Recipe
|
|
version than the individual Module versions, which may not align with Recipe versions. You can use Packagist to find
|
|
detailed information on what versions of individual modules are contained in each Recipe release.
