Template Details
django-admin-argon-dashboard is a theme package that replaces the appearance of Django's built-in Admin interface, using the open-source Argon Dashboard (Bootstrap 5) design from Creative-Tim. It does not change the functional logic of Django Admin; it only overrides templates and static assets. Integration is done by adding admin_argon.apps.AdminArgonConfig to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py, placed before django.contrib.admin.
There are two installation methods: run pip install django-admin-argon-dashboard from PyPI, or install directly from the GitHub repository. For production, run collectstatic to gather static files; for local development, follow the usual steps: makemigrations, migrate, createsuperuser, runserver, then visit /admin to see the result.
Beyond Admin, the package also provides page templates such as dashboard.html, billing.html, profile.html, rtl.html, tables.html, and virtual-reality.html, which can be used for regular user views: write a view function to render the corresponding template and map a route in urls.py. The example given in the README is a dashboard view with the dashboard/ path.
Note that the repository's last update was in 2022. The README does not state the supported Django version range, nor does it provide tests or a compatibility matrix. The licenses for third-party assets referenced in the templates—such as fonts, icons, and demo images—must be checked separately. The MIT license covers only the code in this version.

- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as-is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- The interface styling comes from the third-party Creative-Tim Argon Dashboard UI Kit. That UI Kit's license is independent of the MIT code license; check its terms before use.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Django as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
