The Art of the Clean Install

a graph

Coder says “yeh, bruh, did a clean install and it works great…simple is as simple does” Well, that’s all fine and good, but then you have to use NVM and Tailwind UI. Not to mention, you want to support the “good guys” and use buggy-ass NUXT. Oy vey.


It’s hard to remember what a “clean install” actually is. Well, as one steps out of the dark tunnel of installing the NUXT framework with Tailwind UI, the idea of a clean install becomes convoluted, murky, strange, etc.


Thus, it becomes important to take a step back and provide the steps to do a clean install.
The steps are:


  1. 1. Delete the projects Node Modules
  2. 2. Delete package.lock or yarn lock or whatever other lock equivalents Yarn Lock Docs
  3. 3. Then run npm I or whatever package manager equivalents
  4. 4. Then try to run project via npm run dev or equivalents
