## Installation

There are mainly two ways to include the framework.

- Use the framework loader plugin. 
    - The latest development version can be found [here](https://github.com/michaeluno/admin-page-framework/branches). 
    - The latest stable version can be downloaded [here](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/admin-page-framework.latest-stable.zip).

- Use the generated framework files which can be downloaded via `Dashboard` -> `Admin Page Framework` -> `Tools` -> `Generator`. 

For more details, see the **Getting Started** (`Dashboard` -> `Admin Page Framework` -> `Help` -> `Getting Started`) of the admin pages of the loader plugin.
