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.

     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.

```bash
 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.
