# Extensions (Admin Tools) {#admin-tools-extensions}

Only available if [`typo3/cms-extensionmanager`](https://packagist.org/packages/typo3/cms-extensionmanager) is installed.

The backend module **Admin Tools > Extensions**, also called
"Extension Manager", can be used in Composer-based extensions to view which
TYPO3 extensions are installed. In non-Composer installation (not in the scope
of this guide) they can also be used to install and activate extensions:
