"I installed vue-cli 3" 👈 doesn't sound like it worked. How did you install it? – Hoey

Did you install vue-cli 3 global? npm install -g @vue/cli – Slough

Answer 1

I hope this helps somebody but the same happened to me, I just had to restart the terminal before attempting to use it. I mean, after install vue-cli with npm i -g @vue/cli restart the terminal or update the source with something like: source ~/.bash_profile (or just restart the terminal, is easier) so the path in your profile gets updated :). That fixed it for me.

After installing vue-cli with npm i -g @vue/cli and update the source with something like source ~/.profile or (~/.bash_profile). That worked for me.

For anyone comming in here 3 years later like I,

From the Vue CLI installation page as of March 2023, there is a message at the top of the page saying

⚠️ Vue CLI is in Maintenance Mode!

For new projects, it is now recommended to use create-vue to scaffold Vite-based projects. Also refer to the Vue 3 Tooling Guide for the latest recommendations. I did that and followed the prompts to create my first Vue project.
