Summary  
This chapter covers how to scaffold a new Vue application using Vite by creating the project, installing dependencies, and starting a local development server.

General domain of usage  
Front-end web development

A Vue application is usually created with Vite. Vite is a modern development tool that sets up the project structure and starts a local development server for your app.

To create a new Vue project, run the following command in the terminal:

```bash id="h2m4kq"
npm create vue@latest
```

After running the command, Vite asks a few setup questions and creates a new Vue project folder.

Next, move into the project folder:

```bash id="v8p2zn"
cd my-vue-app
```

Then install the project dependencies:

```bash id="q7x1lf"
npm install
```

Finally, start the development server:

```bash id="r3d9uw"
npm run dev
```

After that, Vite shows a local address in the terminal. Open it in the browser to see your Vue app running.

This setup gives you a ready-to-use Vue project where you can start building components, writing logic, and updating the interface.
