Installation
Warning regarding Previous Versions
The package name changed from vue-cli
to @vue/cli
. If you have the previous vue-cli
(1.x or 2.x) package installed globally, you need to uninstall it first with npm uninstall vue-cli -g
or yarn global remove vue-cli
.
Node Version Requirement
Vue CLI 4.x requires Node.js version 8.9 or above (v10+ recommended). You can manage multiple versions of Node on the same machine with n, nvm or nvm-windows.
To install the new package, use one of the following commands. You need administrator privileges to execute these unless npm was installed on your system through a Node.js version manager (e.g. n or nvm).
npm install -g @vue/cli
# OR
yarn global add @vue/cli
After installation, you will have access to the vue
binary in your command line. You can verify that it is properly installed by simply running vue
, which should present you with a help message listing all available commands.
You can check you have the right version with this command:
vue --version
