README

AdminLTE is the most popular open-source admin dashboard template — fully responsive, built on Bootstrap 5.3 with vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery), highly customizable, and easy to use. It fits every screen from small mobile devices to large desktops, and it's MIT-licensed.

Framework editions

The same AdminLTE 4 dashboard, officially integrated for the framework you know best — you're looking at the HTML / Bootstrap core:

Every edition ships the full AdminLTE 4 design — Bootstrap 5.3, dark mode, RTL — with idiomatic integrations for its stack (components, routing, auth, theming).

Quick start

CDN — no build step:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/admin-lte@4/dist/css/adminlte.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/admin-lte@4/dist/js/adminlte.min.js"></script>

npm:

npm install admin-lte@4

Composer:

composer require almasaeed2010/adminlte

Then start from the Getting Started guide or copy one of the demo pages.

Developing AdminLTE itself

1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Start the dev server: npm start (opens http://localhost:3000 with live reload)
3. Build: npm run build — or npm run production for the full lint + optimize + bundlewatch pipeline

What's new in v4

The v4 line is a ground-up rewrite on Bootstrap 5.3 with no jQuery: 18 new demo pages (Calendar, Kanban, Chat, File Manager, Mailbox, Wizard, Tabulator data tables, and more), a documentation overhaul, and major dependency upgrades. See the CHANGELOG for full details.

Premium templates

AdminLTE will always be free and open source. When a project needs more — app-ready pages, framework-native codebases, dedicated support — our team hand-picks premium dashboards at adminlte.io/premium, including editions built for the same stacks AdminLTE integrates with:

Browser & platform support

AdminLTE supports the latest versions of all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) via Bootstrap 5.3.8. The build scripts run cross-platform — Windows (CMD, PowerShell, Git Bash), macOS and Linux — using cross-platform npm utilities throughout.

Security & production deployment

AdminLTE is a UI template. Deploy only the compiled production assets (dist/js/adminlte.min.js, dist/css/adminlte.min.css) and your own application files — never node_modules/, the demo HTML pages, or the src/ directory.

About CVE-2021-36471: this CVE is disputed and does not represent a vulnerability in AdminLTE — it refers to demo pages being accessible when example files are incorrectly deployed to production. AdminLTE v4 cleanly separates development demos from production assets.

For detailed guidelines, authentication requirements, and best practices, see SECURITY.md.
