# Chart.js
[](https://chartjs-slack.herokuapp.com/)
## Installation
You can get the latest version of Chart.js from [npm](https://npmjs.com/package/chart.js), the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/releases/latest), or use a [Chart.js CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/chart.js). Detailed installation instructions can be found on the [installation](./getting-started/installation.md) page.
If you're using a front-end framework (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue), please check [available integrations](https://github.com/chartjs/awesome#integrations).
## Creating a Chart
It's easy to get started with Chart.js. All that's required is the script included in your page along with a single `<canvas>` node to render the chart.
In this example, we create a bar chart for a single dataset and render that in our page. You can see all the ways to use Chart.js in the [usage documentation](./getting-started/usage.md).
```html
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
<script>
const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d');
const myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow', 'Green', 'Purple', 'Orange'],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
y: {
beginAtZero: true
}
}
}
});
</script>
```
