Template Details
Chameleon Admin Lite is an admin dashboard template built on HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap, released by ThemeSelection as open source under the MIT license. The repository provides both compiled CSS/JS and SCSS source code, with page directories split into ltr and rtl sets for admin interfaces that require bidirectional text layouts.
The template is positioned as a general-purpose admin dashboard. The README lists suitable directions including project management, e-commerce backends, data analytics, CRM, fitness, and other custom admin panels. It is not tied to any specific backend technology; the README explicitly states it can work with PHP, Ruby, .NET, Java, Python, and other backends, and can also be integrated into frontend frameworks such as Angular, React, and Vue.
For builds, the template includes Gulp tasks for compiling SCSS and minifying CSS and JS, but the README notes that using Node and Gulp is not required—you can customize directly with the ready-made CSS and JS files. The repository structure includes app-assets (css, data, fonts, images, js, vendors), assets (css, js, scss), html (ltr, rtl), src (js, scss), and gulp-tasks directories.
Regarding licensing, the code is under the MIT license, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, provided the copyright notice and license statement are retained when distributing. The README additionally requests that users keep the ThemeSelection attribution link in the footer. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons come from sources including Graphicburger, Stocksnap, Pixabay, Unsplash, and Picjumbo, and must be checked separately under their respective licenses; they cannot be assumed to be covered solely by the code's MIT license. The repository was last updated in 2022, and the README lists browser support for the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera, plus IE10+.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- The code of this version may be used, modified, used commercially, and distributed free of charge.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license statement.
- 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 README requests that users keep the ThemeSelection attribution link in the footer; this is a request rather than a mandatory term of the MIT license, but retaining the attribution is recommended when using the template.
- ThemeSelection reserves the right to change the license of future versions, so the current MIT grant applies only to existing versions; later versions may use a different license.
- When contributing code, any third-party content used must be under an open-source license; this requirement applies to contributors and does not affect use of the template itself.
- Using the Gulp build process requires installing Node.js first; the README states that when not using the build process, the ready-made CSS/JS can be referenced directly, so this requirement applies only to scenarios that need to recompile SCSS.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses and cannot be assumed to be covered solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.
