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:

::card-group :card{title="Open on StackBlitz" icon="i-simple-icons-stackblitz" to="https://nuxt.new/s/v3" target="_blank"} :card{title="Open on CodeSandbox" icon="i-simple-icons-codesandbox" to="https://nuxt.new/c/v3" target="_blank"} ::

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

New Project

Prerequisites

::note ::details :summary[Additional notes for an optimal setup:]

  • Node.js: Make sure to use an even numbered version (18, 20, etc)
  • Nuxtr: Install the community-developed Nuxtr extension :: ::

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:

::package-managers

npx nuxi@latest init <project-name>
yarn dlx nuxi@latest init <project-name>
pnpm dlx nuxi@latest init <project-name>
bun x nuxi@latest init <project-name>

::

::tip Alternatively, you can find other starters or themes by opening nuxt.new and following the instructions there. ::

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:

::package-managers

npm run dev -- -o
yarn dev --open
pnpm dev -o
bun run dev -o

::

::tip{icon="i-ph-check-circle-duotone"} Well done! A browser window should automatically open for http://localhost:3000. ::

Next Steps

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