Installation

Play Online

If you just want to play around with Nuxt in your browser without setting up a project, you can use one of our online sandboxes:

Or follow the steps below to set up a new Nuxt project on your computer.

New Project

Prerequisites

• Node.js - 20.x or newer (but we recommend the active LTS release)
• Text editor - There is no IDE requirement, but we recommend Visual Studio Code with the official Vue extension (previously known as Volar) or WebStorm, which, along with other JetBrains IDEs, offers great Nuxt support right out-of-the-box.
• Terminal - In order to run Nuxt commands

Open a terminal (if you're using Visual Studio Code, you can open an integrated terminal) and use the following command to create a new starter project:

npm create nuxt@latest <project-name>

yarn create nuxt <project-name>

pnpm create nuxt@latest <project-name>

bun create nuxt@latest <project-name>

deno -A npm:create-nuxt@latest <project-name>

Open your project folder in Visual Studio Code:

code <project-name>

Or change directory into your new project from your terminal:

cd <project-name>

Development Server

Now you'll be able to start your Nuxt app in development mode:

npm run dev -- -o

yarn dev --open

pnpm dev -o

bun run dev -o

# To use the Bun runtime during development
# bun --bun run dev -o

deno run dev -o

Next Steps

Now that you've created your Nuxt project, you are ready to start building your application.
