I want to create a vue project with @vue/cli .

As you know vue/cli update to version 3.

But in the terminal I'm only still have access to vue-cli command.

And with vue --version still got steel 2.8.2.

I don't know if this will help anyone but

  • To uninstall 2.x I had to:

    npm uninstall -g vue-cli

On Windows:

Just find out where your vue is located through the command:

which vue

Then delete all files with prefix 'vue' (e.g. vue-client, vue.cmd). After that type 'which vue' again and note that the path was changed.

Then, if necessary, install @vue/cli again:

npm i @vue/cli -g

I installed NodeJs in a folder and set the path in Environmental Variable to use as normal user ( without Admin rights for setup).

Later when I installed NodeJS using setup along with latest NPM and Vue-Cli, I had to remove the path entry that i set previously to make latest installation effective.

I use nvm to switch between node versions. In my case I had installed vue-cli on the system node and that had been symlinked to /usr/local/bin/vue

To fix:

nvm use system
npm uninstall -g vue-cli

At this point which vue should return vue not found. In that case you can nvm use your desired version and it should run out of that version's directory.

I solved the same issue you have (or had), I don't know if you already solved it but here is how I solved it.

using which vue I saw where vue was installed.

christianjavan@rog:$ which vue
/usr/bin/vue

Then I deleted all vue files inside the installation folder

christianjavan@rog:/usr/bin$ sudo rm -rf vue
christianjavan@rog:/usr/bin$ sudo rm -rf vue-init
christianjavan@rog:/usr/bin$ sudo rm -rf vue-list

Then I did exactly what it says in this link.

christianjavan@rog:/$ mkdir ~/.npm-global
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/christianjavan/.npm-global’: File exists
christianjavan@rog:/$ npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
christianjavan@rog:/$ export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
christianjavan@rog:/$ source ~/.profile

Then I tried to install the new vue cli

christianjavan@rog:/$ npm install -g @vue/cli

Then I did vue --version and finally got the 3.0.3 version installed

christianjavan@rog:/$ vue --version
3.0.3

I really hope this helps.

NOTE: After trying to run vue -V again later, it did't found the vue command, so I exported the new vue directory to the PATH. When you run npm install -g @vue/cli the command gives you the new vue directory.

christianjavan@rog:~$ npm install -g @vue/cli
/home/christianjavan/.npm-global/bin/vue -> /home/christianjavan/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@vue/cli/bin/vue.js

You add that directory to your PATH.

christianjavan@rog:~$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/christianjavan/.npm-global/bin

Edit, I thought your problem was that you did not know how to uninstall vue-cli 3:

  1. Uninstall it globally: npm uninstall -g vue-cli
  2. Remove local node_modules / npm uninstall vue-cli
  3. Try reinstall if you want
