Chakra UI provides a set of high level, accessible components for building with React. You can add support for Chakra UI to a Gatsby app by installing and configuring a plugin.

Kyle Gill: [0:01] In an existing Gatsby site, I'm using the Hello World starter. Install Gatsby plugin Chakra UI with NPM or yarn, as well as its necessary dependencies, @chakra-ui/core, @emotion/core, @emotion/styled, and emotion-theming.
