Documentation on the website is quite extensive and explains everything there is about the library, but just in short, this is how it goes:

Load chart.js script, you can download it locally or use CDN link. After that, insert the global chart configuration – this is the code which starts with…

Chart.defaults.global = {
    // Boolean - Whether to animate the chart
    animation: true,

    // Number - Number of animation steps
    animationSteps: 60,

    // String - Animation easing effect
    // Possible effects are:
    // [easeInOutQuart, linear, easeOutBounce, easeInBack, easeInOutQuad,
    //  easeOutQuart, easeOutQuad, easeInOutBounce, easeOutSine, easeInOutCubic,
    //  easeInExpo, easeInOutBack, easeInCirc, easeInOutElastic, easeOutBack,
    //  easeInQuad, easeInOutExpo, easeInQuart, easeOutQuint, easeInOutCirc,
    //  easeInSine, easeOutExpo, easeOutCirc, easeOutCubic, easeInQuint,
    //  easeInElastic, easeInOutSine, easeInOutQuint, easeInBounce,
    //  easeOutElastic, easeInCubic]
    animationEasing: "easeOutQuart",

    // Boolean - If we should show the scale at all
    showScale: true,

    // Boolean - If we want to override with a hard coded scale
    scaleOverride: false,

    // ** Required if scaleOverride is true **
    // Number - The number of steps in a hard coded scale
    scaleSteps: null,
...

And now you can choose the chart – all you need to do is add data structure for any of the charts:

var data = {
    labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"],
    datasets: [
        {
            label: "My First dataset",
            fillColor: "rgba(220,220,220,0.2)",
            strokeColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            pointColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            pointStrokeColor: "#fff",
            pointHighlightFill: "#fff",
            pointHighlightStroke: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]
        },
...

The next step is to initiate the chart:

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
new Chart(ctx).Line(data);

And then use HTML canvas element where the script will draw the chart:

<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>

And that’s all. Have a look at my CodePen example with a working chart. I used example from the website documentation, with only difference that I activated the responsive mode (you can find it in global settings).
