# Installation

Laravel Themes Manager requires PHP 7.3 and Laravel 7 or 8.

You can install Themes Manager through composer

composer require hexadog/laravel-themes-manager

The package will automatically register its service provider.

# Publishing resources (optional)

After installing Themes Manager, there are a few things we need to do to prepare our application.

First, we need to publish the configuration that comes with Themes Manager. You can do so by running the following artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hexadog\ThemesManager\Providers\PackageServiceProvider" --tag=config

This will create a themes-manager.php file in your application's config directory.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hexadog\ThemesManager\Providers\PackageServiceProvider" --tag=views

This will create a vendor/menus-manager directory in your application's resources/views directory with all views used by Themes manager.

That's all the setup necessary. Next, let's look at how we can get working with Themes Manager.
