Installation

Install Material UI, the world's most popular React UI framework.

Default installation

Run one of the following commands to add Material UI to your project:

npm

npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled

yarn

yarn add @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled

With styled-components

Material UI uses Emotion as its default styling engine. If you want to use styled-components instead, run one of the following commands:

npm

npm install @mui/material @mui/styled-engine-sc styled-components

yarn

yarn add @mui/material @mui/styled-engine-sc styled-components

Peer dependencies

Please note that react and react-dom are peer dependencies too:

"peerDependencies": {
  "react": "^17.0.0 || ^18.0.0",
  "react-dom": "^17.0.0 || ^18.0.0"
},

Roboto font

Material UI is designed to use the Roboto font by default. You may add it to your project with npm or yarn via Fontsource, or with the Google Fonts CDN.

npm

npm install @fontsource/roboto

yarn

yarn add @fontsource/roboto

Then you can import it in your entry point like this:

import '@fontsource/roboto/300.css';
import '@fontsource/roboto/400.css';
import '@fontsource/roboto/500.css';
import '@fontsource/roboto/700.css';

Google Web Fonts

To install the Roboto font in your project using the Google Web Fonts CDN, add the following code snippet inside your project's <head /> tag:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
/>

Icons
