For install Lipsiadmin you can get it from gems or by sourcecode.

For use it with gem

$ rails myapp
$ sudo gem install lipsiadmin

Now edit myapp/config/environment.rb and add

config.gem "lipsiadmin", :version => "< 5.0"

Why we need to specify version?

Simply because we mantain backward compatibility until a 5.0 version. This mean that before v 5.0 we only do small improvemets, bug fix, doc etc...

Using source code

script/plugin install git://github.com/Lipsiasoft/lipsiadmin.git

And now?

now run script/generate and you can see some like:

Installed Generators
  Builtin: controller, integration_test, mailer, migration, model, etc..
  Lipsiadmin: attachment, backend, backend_page, pdf, loops

So you can do:

$ script/generate backend                # Generate the base admin
$ script/generate backend_page yourmodel # Generate a "scaffold" for your model
$ script/generate state_session          # Create a "scaffold" for store extjs grid settings in db
$ script/generate loops                  # Generate background workers
$ script/generate frontend               # Generate the base frontend
$ script/generate attachment             # Generate the an attachments
$ script/generate pdf PdfName            # Generate a new pdf document
