Install

Optionally use the --global flag.

$ vue install @vue/cli
$ yarn add @vue/cli

That will be installed as vue in your package.json packages.

Create

See Creating a project in the docs. That covers the create and ui commands.

If you have Vue installed globally.

$ vue create

Without Vue installed globally. This is useful for setting up a new project as this works even if Vue is not installed anywhere.

$ npx @vue/cli create my-app
$ npx @vue/cli create --default my-project

UI

Start the Vue GUI tool.

$ npx @vue/cli ui

CLI Service

See CLI Service command docs.

Available by installing @vue/cli-service. But I think installing vue is sufficient.

Run it as an NPM script.

Or as

$ npx vue-cli-service COMMAND
