This section explains how to use Syncfusion Vue In-place Editor component in Vue 3 application

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Creating Vue application using Vue CLI

The easiest way to create a Vue application is to use the Vue CLI. Vue CLI versions above 4.5.0 are mandatory for creating applications using Vue 3. Use the following command to uninstall older versions of the Vue CLI.

```bash
  npm uninstall vue-cli -g
```

Use the following commands to install the latest version of Vue CLI.

```bash
   npm install -g @vue/cli
   npm install -g @vue/cli-init
```

Create a new project using the command below.

     vue create quickstart
     cd quickstart

Initiating a new project prompts us to choose the type of project to be used for the current application. Select the option Default (Vue 3) from the menu.

Adding Syncfusion In-place Editor package in the application

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com registry.

Install the In-place Editor component by using the below npm command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-inplace-editor --save
