Just starting (again) with material UI and react. There are two packages material-ui and @material-ui, which is the best starting point (latest) as of 2019-07 timeframe?
I think it is npm install @material-ui/core based on ... https://material-ui.com/getting-started/installation/. The GIT repo is at https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui
npm install @material-ui/core
Simple question, hopefully simple answer.
Other questions I looked at:
Use Create-React-App with Material UI - This answer says to use npm install --save material-ui but because it is 2 years old, I think it may be out of date.
npm install --save material-ui

@material-ui/core is the correct one to use for v4. For v5, the equivalent package is @mui/material.
@material-ui/core
@mui/material
If you go to https://www.npmjs.com/package/material-ui, you'll see that material-ui is deprecated. The last stable version in the material-ui package was 0.20.2. For the 1.0 release it moved to @material-ui/core and for the stable release of v5 it moved to @mui/material.
material-ui
0.20.2
The @material-ui scope (for v4) is used for the following packages that are all managed within the monorepo you referenced (https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/v4.12.3/packages):
@material-ui
Similarly, the @mui scope (for v5) is used for the similar set of packages supported for v5 (https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/packages):
@mui
@mui/core
withStyles
makeStyles
