Let me show you how to run a Vue project from GitHub in Visual Studio Code is a straightforward process. By following these simple steps, you can clone the repository, install the necessary dependencies, and run the Vue application locally. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Clone the Repository
- Open Visual Studio Code.
- Go to the “View” menu and click on “Command Palette” or use the shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+P” (Windows/Linux) or “Cmd+Shift+P” (macOS).
- In the command palette, type “git clone <url>” and press Enter.
- Enter the URL of the GitHub repository containing the Vue project you want to run.
- Select the location on your local machine where you want to clone the repository.
git clone your repository url
Step 2: Install Dependencies
- Once the repository is cloned, open the project folder in Visual Studio Code.
- Open the integrated terminal by going to the “Terminal” menu and selecting “New Terminal” or using the shortcut “Ctrl+
" (Windows/Linux) or "Cmd+” (macOS). - In the terminal, navigate to the project’s directory using the “cd” command followed by the project’s path.
- Run the command “npm install” to install all the required dependencies listed in the project’s package.json file.
cd your-project-directory
npm install
Step 3: Run the Vue Project
- After the dependencies are installed, you can run the Vue project using the appropriate command specified in the project’s documentation or package.json file.
- Typically, for Vue projects created with Vue CLI, you can run the development server with the command “npm run serve”.
- Once the development server is running, you should see a local URL (e.g., http://localhost:8080) in the terminal output.
- Copy and paste this URL into your web browser to see the running Vue application.
npm run serve
