== CAPI UI extension installation

Rancher also provides a UI extension that makes it easy to manage CAPI providers, create CAPI clusters and view CAPI related resources via the Rancher Dashboard. Installing the CAPI UI extension is similar to installing Turtles.

[NOTE]
====
Installing Turtles prior to installing the CAPI UI extension is recommended.
====

* From your browser, access Rancher Manager and navigate to the `Extensions` page.
* Using the three dots menu located at the top right, select `Manage Repositories`. This should open the `Repositories` page for the *local* cluster.
* Click `Create` to add a new repository.
* Enter the following:
** *Name*: `capi-ui`.
** *Target*: http(s) URL to an index generated by Helm
** *Index URL*: https://rancher.github.io/capi-ui-extension.
* Click `Create`.
* Wait for the `capi-ui` repository to have a status of `Active`.
* Go to `Extensions` \-> `Available`.
* Find the `CAPI UI` card and click on its `Install` button.
* Select the version to install (default is the latest) and click `Install`.
* Once the extension is installed, click on the `Reload` button at the top of the page to reload the page.
* The CAPI UI extension is now installed. You can navigate to `Cluster Management` \-> `CAPI` to start using it.
