The recommended way to start a Vite-powered Vue project

npm create vue@latest

Or, if you need to support IE11, you can create a Vue 2 project with:

npm create vue@legacy

Note that the tag name (@latest or@legacy) MUST NOT be omitted, otherwisenpm may resolve to a cached and outdated version of the package.

• Vue CLI is based on webpack, whilecreate-vue is based onVite. Vite supports most of the configured conventions found in Vue CLI projects out of the box, and provides a significantly better development experience due to its extremely fast startup and hot-module replacement speed. Learn more about why we recommend Vite over webpackhere.

• Unlike Vue CLI,create-vue itself is just a scaffolding tool: it creates a pre-configured project based on the features you choose, and delegates the rest to Vite. Projects scaffolded this way can directly leverage theVite plugin ecosystem which is Rollup-compatible.
