# Installation

**To build new Loki Admin Components (or use existing ones) - aka, grids and forms in the Magento Admin Panel - the `Loki_AdminComponents` module and its dependencies need to be installed. Here are the steps.**

```bash
composer require loki/magento2-admin-components
bin/magento module:enable Loki_AdminComponents Loki_Components Loki_Base Loki_CssUtils
```

As you can see, the `Loki_AdminComponents` module has a dependency with `Loki_Components`, `Loki_Base` and `Loki_CssUtils` which might be useful as well, outside of the scope of building grids and forms in the Magento Admin Panel.

From this point onwards, you can build your own Loki Admin Components.

## Example Admin Components
We also have some example components available that show the functionality of Loki Components:

```bash
composer require \
  yireo-training/magento2-example-loki-admin-array-grid \ 
  yireo-training/magento2-example-loki-admin-cms-page \
  yireo-training/magento2-example-loki-admin-eav-entity-type \
  yireo-training/magento2-example-loki-admin-products 
bin/magento module:enable `bin/magento module:status | grep ExampleLokiAdmin`
```

Each module adds its own entry in the admin menu and displays a grid (and possibly a form) on its own pages.
