New Project

::alert ::details :summary[Before getting started, please make sure you have installed the recommended setup:] * Node.js^* (latest LTS version or above 16.11) 👉 [Download] * Visual Studio Code 👉 [Download] * Volar Extension 👉 [Download] * Either enable Take Over Mode (recommended) * ... or add TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) 👉 [Download]

If you have enabled **Take Over Mode** or installed the **TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar)**, you can disable generating the shim for `*.vue` files in your `nuxt.config` file:

```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  typescript: {
    shim: false
  }
})
```

:: ::

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:

::code-group

npx nuxi init <project-name>

pnpm dlx nuxi init <project-name>

::

Open your project folder in Visual Studio Code:

code <project-name>

Install the dependencies:

::code-group

yarn install

npm install

# Make sure you have `shamefully-hoist=true` in `.npmrc` before running pnpm install
pnpm install

::

Development Server

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

::code-group

yarn dev -o

npm run dev -- -o

pnpm dev -o

::

::alert{type=success icon=✨ .font-bold} Well done! A browser window should automatically open for http://localhost:3000. ::
