# Kendo UI for Angular Dialogs Manual Setup

The manual setup approach provides greater visibility and better control over the files and references installed in your Angular application.

> If you already followed the installation steps in the [Getting Started](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dialogs/installation/getting-started) page, you can skip the manual setup approach demonstrated in this article.

You can install the required [peer dependencies](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dialogs/installation/dependencies-and-utils#kendo-angular-dialogs-dependencies) and a Kendo UI theme by running separate commands for each step and import the desired Dialogs components and directives in your standalone component.

1. Install the Dialogs package together with its dependencies by running the following command:

   ```sh
   npm install --save @progress/kendo-angular-dialog @progress/kendo-angular-buttons @progress/kendo-angular-popup @progress/kendo-angular-l10n @progress/kendo-angular-common @progress/kendo-licensing @progress/kendo-angular-icons
   ```

2. Import the required components and directives:
   * To add all components from the Dialogs package, import the `KENDO_DIALOGS` utility array in your standalone component.

     ```ts
     import { Component } from '@angular/core';
     import { KENDO_DIALOGS } from '@progress/kendo-angular-dialog';

     @Component({
         standalone: true,
         selector: 'my-app',
         imports: [KENDO_DIALOGS]
     })
     ```

   * To add individual Dialogs components, import the corresponding utility arrays in your standalone component. See the list of [available utility arrays](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dialogs/installation/dependencies-and-utils#kendo-angular-dialogs-utility-arrays).

     For example if you only need the Dialog component, import `KENDO_DIALOG`.

     ```ts
     import { Component } from '@angular/core';
     import { KENDO_DIALOG } from '@progress/kendo-angular-dialog';

     @Component({
         standalone: true,
         selector: 'my-app',
         imports: [KENDO_DIALOG]
     })
     ```

3. The next step is to style the components by installing one of the [available Kendo UI themes](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/styling).

   3.1 To start using a theme, install its package through NPM.

   * Meridian theme

     ```sh
     npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-meridian
     ```

   * Bootstrap theme

     ```sh
     npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap
     ```

   * Material theme

     ```sh
     npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-material
     ```

   * Fluent theme

     ```sh
     npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-fluent
     ```

   * Default theme

     ```sh
     npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default
     ```

   3.2 After the theme package is installed, reference it in your project. You can include a Kendo UI theme in your project in one of the following ways:

   * By using an [external (CDN) link](https://www.telerik.com/design-system/docs/themes/get-started/installation/#using-external-cdn-link).
   * By using a [precompiled CSS file](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/styling#using-precompiled-css).
   * By compiling the theme from the [SCSS source files](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/styling#using-scss-source-files).
