Download the package and unzip its contents in your extensions folder. We highly recommend the use of Composer to manage your dependencies. If you have problems to install it, you can check the preconfigured project boilerplates at Yiinitializr.

Within the download you'll find the following file structure and contents, logically grouping assets, behaviors, components, helpers and widgets in respective directories.

Unzip the contents of the package under protected/extensions/yiiwheels. The folder structure should now be the following:

  protected
  └── extensions
      └── yiwheels
          ├── assets
          │   ├── css
          │   ├── img
          │   ├── js
          │   └── less
          ├── behaviors
          ├── helpers
          └── widgets

Open your application configuration in protected/config/main.php and modify it according to the following example:

<?php
// main configuration
return array(
	...
    // path aliases
    'aliases' => array(
        ...
        // yiistrap configuration
        'bootstrap' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/bootstrap'), // change if necessary
        // yiiwheels configuration
        'yiiwheels' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/yiiwheels'), // change if necessary
    ),
    // import paths - yiistrap configuration
    'import' => array(
        'bootstrap.helpers.TbHtml',
    ),
    // application components
    'components' => array(
        ...
        // yiistrap configuration
        'bootstrap' => array(
            'class' => 'bootstrap.components.TbApi',
        ),
        // yiiwheels configuration
        'yiiwheels' => array(
            'class' => 'yiiwheels.YiiWheels',   
        ),
    ),
);

Add the following line to your main layout in protected/views/layouts/main.php to register the necessary CSS and JavaScript files:

<?php Yii::app()->bootstrap->register(); ?>

Includes most of the widgets from YiiBooster (refactored) and the list will grow even more.
