📦 Installation

⚙️ Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to integrate pretty_admin into your Django project:

1. Add pretty_admin to INSTALLED_APPS

Make sure it's placed before django.contrib.admin:

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'pretty_admin',               # 👈 Add this at the top before django.contrib.admin
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    ...
]

2. Set STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT

Add this to your settings.py if not already set:

# settings.py

import os

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

3. Run collectstatic

To gather all static files (including Pretty Admin's Tailwind assets), run:

python manage.py collectstatic

This will generate a staticfiles/ folder containing all necessary static files.

4. Start your server

python manage.py runserver

Visit your admin panel at:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

You should now see the beautiful Pretty Admin UI ✨
