### Install dependencies
```bash
npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react
```
### Add snippets
Snippets are pre-built components that you can use to build your UI faster.
Using the `@chakra-ui/cli` you can add snippets to your project.
```bash
npx @chakra-ui/cli snippet add
```
### Update tsconfig
If you're using TypeScript, you need to update the `compilerOptions` in the
tsconfig file to include the following options:
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ESNext",
"module": "ESNext",
"moduleResolution": "Bundler",
"skipLibCheck": true,
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./src/*"]
}
}
}
```
> If you're using JavaScript, create a `jsconfig.json` file and add the above
> code to the file.
### Setup provider
Wrap your application with the `Provider` component at the root of your
application.
This provider composes the following:
- `ChakraProvider` from `@chakra-ui/react` for the styling system
- `ThemeProvider` from `next-themes` for color mode
```tsx title="pages/_app.tsx" {1,5,7}
import { Provider } from "@/components/ui/provider"
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
return (
)
}
```
In the `pages/_document.tsx` file, add the `suppressHydrationWarning` prop to
the `html` element.
```tsx title="pages/_document.tsx" {5}
import { Head, Html, Main, NextScript } from "next/document"
export default function Document() {
return (
