create-nuxt-app VS nvm

I was hoping for https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app but it does not support Nuxt 3.

Nuxt.js (npx create-nuxt-app my-app)

To get started quickly, you can use create-nuxt-app. // https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app

Hi! I want to create a small NPM package with whom I can create a project with the settings or libraries I want. create-nuxt-app is similar to what I want to achieve. (See below for the example.)

Github issue

What are you trying to archive here? npx help gives you that error because that package hasn't any executable (https://www.npmjs.com/package/help). If you check the package.json of that package, there isn't any "bin" definied. So npx doesn't know what to execute. See for example https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app/blob/master/packages/create-nuxt-app/package.json (or run it with npx create-nuxt-app example), which will execute this file https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app/blob/master/packages/create-nuxt-app/lib/cli.js (see package.json -> bin).

You’ll be asked a couple of questions such as the name of the projects, linter, testing framework etc. Keep the app simple and go with the default options provided. To learn more about the options, head over to Create Nuxt App.

You can start a new Nuxt project easily with create-nuxt-app. This CLI provides an interactive menu for quickly setting up your project.

To get started quickly with nuxt, I've used the yarn create nuxt-app command. After executing the command, I chose the following configuration options:

nvm - Node version manager

Node.js + Nvm - runtime for javascript without a browser

Install Node.js if it hasn't been installed. There are several ways to install Node.js. You may download the installer from the official website, or install it with tools like NVM. After installation, run this command to verify its installation.

Our server also needs Node.js to run our app. We could install the binary directly, but I prefer to use a tool called NVM, which allows us to easily manage Node versions. We can install it with this command:

By setting up your environment in isolation, you can prevent yourself from a lot of issues when experimenting with code. It makes your code behave more predictable due to the defined state of the runtime environment you are working with. This article should provide you with enough information to get started, but obviously, there is a lot more power embedded in NVM, Virtual Environment and RBEnv. So make sure to check their documentation.

I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

I usually develop on Windows so I installed NVM for Windows from here, but if you’re on other OS I’m sure you can find a version that supports it, probably this is the answer.

This was a very quick introduction to how I setup NodeJS on my environment using nvm. If you have any questions please refer to the official documentation or contact me via my Social Links.
