# How to install and setup Django Jet theme?

Django JET is a great library to modernize your classic Django admin panel into something modern, styling and customizable admin panel.

For comparison, here is how the classic Django admin panel looks like:

After customization, it will look something like this:

Looks cool, huh? Let's customize the admin panel and make it look cool.

# Installation:

First install the Django Jet Reboot package in your Django project.

```python
pip install django-jet-reboot
```

# Setup:

*   Add `jet` package at the top of your `INSTALLED_APPS` list in the Django `settings.py` file, it is important to note that the `jet` package should be added at the top of the `INSTALLED_APPS` list so that all the admin templates can be overridden.
    
    ```python
    INSTALLED_APPS = [
    	'jet',
    	...
    ]
    ```
    
*   Now you have to open our root `urls.py` file and add this url path at the top of the `urlpatterns` list.
    
    ```python
    ...
    
    urlpatterns = [
    	path('jet/', include('jet.urls', 'jet')),
    	path('admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    	...
    )
    
    ...
    ```
    
*   You are all setup, just run the migrate command and your new admin theme has been installed.
    
    ```bash
    python manage.py migrate jet
    ```
    
*   Let’s do one last thing, which is to change the color of our new theme. (This is optional, you can skip to the next step). Just open the `settings.py` file, and add this code at the end to change the color of new Django admin theme.
    
    ```python
    JET_DEFAULT_THEME = 'light-violet'
    ```
    
    You have other color options such as:
    
    1.  default
        
    2.  green
        
    3.  light-violet
        
    4.  light-green
        
    5.  light-blue
        
    6.  light-gray
        
    
    Now your admin will look something like this:
