Installation
Install Material-UI, the world's most popular React UI framework.
Material-UI is available as an npm package.
npm
To install and save in your package.json
dependencies, run:
npm install @material-ui/core
Please note that react >= 16.3.0 and react-dom >= 16.3.0 are peer dependencies.
Roboto Font
Material-UI was designed with the Roboto font in mind. So be sure to follow these instructions. For instance, via Google Web Fonts:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500">
Font Icons
In order to use the font Icon
component you must first add the Material icons font.
Here are some instructions
on how to do so.
For instance, via Google Web Fonts:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
SVG Icons
In order to use prebuilt SVG Material icons, such as those found in the component demos you must first install the @material-ui/icons package:
npm install @material-ui/icons
CDN
You can start using Material-UI with minimal Front-end infrastructure, which is great for prototyping. We discourage using this approach in production though - the client has to download the entire library, regardless of which components are actually used, affecting performance and bandwidth utilisation.
UMD releases
We are providing two Universal Module Definition (UMD) files:
- one for development: https://unpkg.com/@material-ui/core/umd/material-ui.development.js
- one for production: https://unpkg.com/@material-ui/core/umd/material-ui.production.min.js
You can follow this CDN example to quickly get started.
