# Installing Loki Components

**To build new LokiComponents (or use existing ones), the `Loki_Components` module and its dependencies need to be installed. It involves a simple composer installation and the enabling of the right Magento modules.**

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

As you can see, the `Loki_Components` module has a dependency with `Loki_Base` and `Loki_CssUtils` which might be useful as well, outside of the scope of Loki Components (as in: AJAX-capable Alpine.js components).

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

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

```bash
composer require yireo-training/magento2-example-loki-components
bin/magento module:enable YireoTraining_ExampleLokiComponents
```

This adds a new menu in the footer, from which you can navigate to pages with examples for simple forms, notifications, template switchers, modals and more.
