# Installation
Getting started with Nuxt3 is straightforward.
## Prerequisites
Before installing Nuxt, you'll need to have a local development environment.
Recommended setup is:
* **NodeJS** < sup > *</ sup > (latest LTS version) [[Download ](https://nodejs.org/en/download/ )]
* **Visual Studio Code** [[Download ](https://code.visualstudio.com/ )]
* **Vetur extension** [[Download ](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=octref.vetur )]
* **Yarn package manager** [[Download ](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#windows-stable )]
< sup > *</ sup > If you already have NodeJS installed, check with `node --version` to ensure using `v14` or `v16` .
## Create project
From visual studio code, open an [integrated terminal ](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal ) and use the following command to create a new starter project:
```bash
2021-06-08 22:14:22 +00:00
npx degit "nuxt/starter#v3" my-nuxt3-project
2021-06-08 21:09:36 +00:00
```
Open `my-nuxt3-project` folder in visual studio code:
```bash
code -r my-nuxt3-project
```
Install dependencies using yarn:
```bash
yarn install
```
## Start Development Server
Now you'll be able to use `yarn dev` to start nuxt app in development mode:
```bash
yarn dev -o
```
✨Well done! A browser window should automatically open to `http://localhost:3000`
