The prerequisites for this tutorial include a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Familiarity with Vue.js is beneficial but not mandatory as the tutorial will cover the basics.

2. Step-by-Step Guide

Before diving into Nuxt.js, it's important to have an understanding of its dependencies:

Node.js: Nuxt.js is built on Node.js, which allows JavaScript to be run on the server side.
Vue.js: Nuxt.js is a framework built on Vue.js, so understanding Vue.js fundamentals will be beneficial.
Webpack: Nuxt.js uses Webpack as a bundler, but you don't need to know it in depth. Just understanding the basic concept of a module bundler will be enough.
ES6: Nuxt.js uses ES6 syntax, so it's helpful to understand concepts like arrow functions, promises, async/await, etc.

To install Nuxt.js, you need to have Node.js and npm installed. You can verify if you have them installed by running node -v and npm -v in your terminal/command prompt. If they are installed, you will see the versions printed.

To install Nuxt.js, open your terminal/command prompt and run npx create-nuxt-app <project-name>.

3. Code Examples

Let's create a simple Nuxt.js application. Open your terminal/command prompt and run the following commands:

# Create a new Nuxt.js application
npx create-nuxt-app hello-nuxt

# Move to the application directory
cd hello-nuxt

# Start the server
npm run dev

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see your Nuxt.js application running.

You can edit the pages/index.vue file to change the content of your homepage.

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Hello Nuxt.js!</h1>
  </div>
</template>
