# Overview

In this section, we're going to start building a more complex application leveraging the [Vue CLI](https://cli.vuejs.org), looking into how to create multiple components and how they all fit together, but before we get there we need to setup a few things.

## Requirements

* **VS Code**: at this point you should have it installed already, but if you don't, it's never too late. Go and grab the latest version in this [link](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
* **Node.js**: from this section onward we're going Node.js quite extensively. Install it using this [link](https://nodejs.org/en/)
* **Vue CLI**: we'll go through the details on how to install it, but you can find more information [here](https://cli.vuejs.org/)
* **VS Code Extensions**: not mandatory, but highly recommended: [ESLint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint), [Prettier](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode), [Vetur](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=octref.vetur) and [Vue VSCode Snippets](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sdras.vue-vscode-snippets)

## Installing Vue CLI

```bash
npm install -g @vue/cli
```

With all these install, we're ready to rock! Let's go forward.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://devworkshops.gitbook.io/masteringvuejs/beyond-the-basics/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
