Before you begin, make sure your development environment includes Node and an npm package manager.

1.Node.js

Install Node.js using downloaded file.

To check your node version, run node -v in a terminal/console window.

2.Npm package manager

Vue CLI, and Vue apps depend on features and functionality provided by libraries that are available as npm packages. To download and install npm packages, you must have an npm package manager.

This Quick Start uses the npm client command line interface, which is installed with Node.js by default. To check that you have the npm client installed, run npm -v in a terminal/console window.

For better understanding Vue we suggest you to once go through official documentation of Vue from VueJS.org

Installing Vue CLI

You use the Vue CLI to create projects, generate application and library code, and perform a variety of ongoing development tasks as it is a progressive framework for building user interfaces.

Install the Vue CLI globally.

To install the CLI using npm, open a terminal/console window and enter the following command:

npm install -g @vue/cli

Create Initial application

1. Run the CLI command vue create and provide the name my-app, as shown here:

vue create my-app

2. The vue create command prompts you for information about features to include in the initial app project. Accept the defaults by pressing the Enter or Return key.

Run Application

1. Go to the workspace folder (my-app).

cd my-app

2. Launch the server by using the CLI command npm start

npm run serve

1. Build you application for host on server using below command:
npx vite build

It will create one dist file in your template folder. Make zip of dist folder. so here you are ready to upload your template on server.

If you’re using Apache HTTP Server, you need to create a .htaccess file in the public folder by pastng below code

• Options -MultiViews
• RewriteEngine On
• RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
• RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]

Now upload your dist folder on public folder

if you want to add subdirectory for your build then below two step:

1. add your sub directory name in public path in vite.config.ts like(

import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'node:url'

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import vueDevTools from 'vite-plugin-vue-devtools'

// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  base:'/kreta/'
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    vueDevTools(),
  ],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url))
    },
  },
})
