Using Vue-CLI

In order to start using Vue-cli, we need to have Node.js set up on our machine, and we also need to have a command-line app on our operating system of choice.

For example, my preferred tools are Windows 10 and Git bash for Windows.

Note

There are many different operating systems and command-line apps that you could potentially be using.
