Installation

Version 2 of Chakra UI is only compatible with React 18. If you are still needing to use React 17 or earlier, please use version 1 of Chakra UI.

To use Chakra UI in your project, run one of the following commands in your terminal:

npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
yarn add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion
pnpm add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

After installing Chakra UI, you need to set up the ChakraProvider at the root of your application. This can be either in your index.jsx, index.tsx or App.jsx depending on the framework you use.

import * as React from 'react'
// 1. import `ChakraProvider` component
import { ChakraProvider } from '@chakra-ui/react'
function App() {
// 2. Wrap ChakraProvider at the root of your app
return (
<ChakraProvider>
<TheRestOfYourApplication />
</ChakraProvider>
)
}
