Installation Modes

Nuxt.js offers various installation modes to cater to different project needs.

1. Server Side Rendering (SSR): Ideal for SEO and improved performance, SSR enables server-side rendering for your Nuxt.js application.
2. Single Page Application (SPA): SPA mode simplifies the setup for client-side rendering but may not be as SEO-friendly as SSR.
3. Static Site Generation (SSG): SSG generates static HTML files during build time, making your site lightning fast and SEO-optimized.

Choose the installation mode that aligns with your project's goals and requirements.

Manual Setup (Advanced):

If you prefer manual setup, you can create a new directory, navigate into it, and run the following commands:

cd my-nuxt-project

npm install

After these steps, you can configure your project as needed, create pages, and set up Nuxt.js features.

Start the Development Server

Whether you used the Terminal or Vue CLI or manual setup, you can start the development server by running:

npm run dev

This will launch your Nuxt.js application, and you can access it in your browser at http://localhost:3000 by default.

Custom Configuration

Customize your Nuxt.js project by editing the nuxt.config.js file. This file allows you to configure various aspects of your application, including plugins, modules, and build settings.
