# Create an admin module

**In this documentation, we assume that you are an experienced Magento developer that knows how to build a Magento module that is able to display a page in the admin. A basic Magento module with `adminhtml` behaviour is assumed to be there.**

To continue with all examples in this wiki, first build your own Magento module - in this case, called `YireoTraining_ExampleAdmin` with the following base elements:

- `etc/module.xml` module defition file;
- `registration.php` module registration file;
- `etc/adminhtml/routes.xml` to define your own route in the admin;
- Backend controller class that renders a page via the XML layout;
- `etc/acl.xml` file for proper permissions;
- Optionally `etc/adminhtml/menu.xml` file to bring users to your backend page;
- Optionally `composer.json` for installing this module via composer;

And last but not least, an XML layout file that allows adding content to your specific page. This is where we kick off the Loki story. Here, we assume this file to be called `view/adminhtml/layout/example.xml`.

It probably is a good idea to add `Loki_AdminComponents` and `Loki_Components` as a module dependency in both your `composer.json` and `etc/module.xml` file.
