[](https://chart-js-automation.herokuapp.com/)
## Installation
You can download the latest version of Chart.js from the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/releases/latest) or use a [Chart.js CDN](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/Chart.js). Detailed installation instructions can be found on the [installation](./getting-started/installation.md) page.
## 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>
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext('2d');
var 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)',
