How to solve the Vue package version mismatch error encountered when installing Nuxt.js

Question

I'm trying to install Nuxt.js v3.4.2 using the command npx nuxt init nuxt3-demo and then running npm install. However, I encountered the following error message:

ERROR: Vue packages version mismatch:
- vue@3.2.40
- vue-server-renderer@2.7.10
This may cause things to work incorrectly. Make sure to use the same version for both.

I've tried updating the 'vue' package but that didn't fix the issue. My package.json file is as follows:

{
    "name": "nuxt-app",
    "private": true,
    "scripts": {
      "build": "nuxt build",
      "dev": "nuxt dev",
      "generate": "nuxt generate",
      "preview": "nuxt preview",
      "postinstall": "nuxt prepare"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
      "@types/node": "^18",
      "nuxt": "^3.4.2"
    }
  }

Can anyone provide a solution to this error?

Answer 1

As a solution, you can:

1 - After deleting the "node_modules" folder and the "package-lock.json" file, try npm install.

2 - Try yarn install.

3 - Try the new version v3.4.3.

I edited because, as Wongjn said, I asked for clarification. However, given the nature of the problem and the difficulty of replicating it, it would be nice to provide a minimal reproducible example.
