Since the arrival of Vue 3, vue tooling has changed and now it’s quite difficult to understand which tool is recommended to install a specific version of VueJs.

Vue 2.7 with webpack

I didn’t find a way to install webpack based Vue 2.7 directly, so I suggest to install the 2.6 version with the commands below:

yarn add @vue/cli 
node_modules/.bin/vue create project
cd project
yarn run serve

and then upgrade to version 2.7:

npm add vue@^2.7.0

Vue 2.7 with vite

You can install vite based Vue 2.7 through this command:

npm init vue@2

Vue 3 with vite

Last, you can easily install Vue 3 with vite:

npm init vite@latest my-vue-app
