### Installation

{% callout type="note" title="Keep Nx Package Versions In Sync" %}
Make sure to install the `@nx/vue` version that matches the version of `nx` in your repository. If the version numbers get out of sync, you can encounter some difficult to debug errors. You can [fix Nx version mismatches with this recipe](/recipes/tips-n-tricks/keep-nx-versions-in-sync).
{% /callout %}

In any Nx workspace, you can install `@nx/vue` by running the following command:

{% tabs %}
{% tab label="Nx 18+" %}

```shell
nx add @nx/vue
```

This will install the correct version of `@nx/vue`.

{% /tab %}
{% tab label="Nx < 18" %}

Install the `@nx/vue` package with your package manager.

```shell
npm add -D @nx/vue
```

{% /tab %}
{% /tabs %}
