Getting Started

Everything you need to add IronAdmin to a Rails application and stand up your first admin panel.

  • Installation — add the gems, run the generator, wire up Tailwind CSS.
  • Quick Start — a full admin panel in six steps.

Want to look around first? The live demo runs IronAdmin in Meridian Magazine, a Rails 8 app: sign in by picking an admin, an editor or an author (no password). Its source on GitHub shows a complete setup to compare with yours: the initializer, resources, dashboard and policies.
