Installation:

Setup:

Now you have to open our root urls.py file and add this url path at the top of the urlpatterns list.

...

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.
```
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.
```
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:
