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.
Live Demo · Documentation · Framework Editions · Premium Templates
The same AdminLTE 4 dashboard, officially integrated for the framework you know best — you're looking at the HTML / Bootstrap core:
| Edition | Repository | Live demo | Install |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTML / Bootstrap (this repo) | AdminLTE | themes/v4 | npm install admin-lte |
| React & Next.js — 30+ typed components, RSC-ready, ⌘K palette | adminlte-react | themes/next-react | see repo |
| Vue 3 & Nuxt — 45+ typed components, composables, SSR-safe theming | adminlte-vue | themes/vue-nuxt | see repo |
| Laravel — Blade components, config-driven menu, auth scaffolding | adminlte-laravel | laravel.adminlte.io | composer require colorlibhq/adminlte-laravel |
| Django — reusable app, menu filter pipeline, themed admin | adminlte-django | django.adminlte.io | pip install django-adminlte4 |
Every edition ships the full AdminLTE 4 design — Bootstrap 5.3, dark mode, RTL — with idiomatic integrations for its stack (components, routing, auth, theming).

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:
|
Admindek The natural next step from AdminLTE: Bootstrap 5 + vanilla JS, 100+ components, dark/light modes, RTL, 10 color presets. Also for Laravel · Next.js · Angular |
Apex Dashboard 5 dashboard variants, 20+ app pages, 125+ routes, full CRUD — in your backend's native stack. For Next.js · Laravel · Django · Angular |
|
Zenith Dashboard — Django Achromatic, ultra-minimal design as a ready-to-run Django project: 50+ pages, 6 dashboards, live theme customizer. |
Haze — Nuxt Nuxt 4 + Nuxt UI v4 + Tailwind CSS v4. 92+ pages, 7 layouts, 5 dashboards, RTL, i18n, mock API layer. |
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.
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.
