Incomplete installation instructions

According to the installation instructions, all the user has to do is pip install this project. This is not exactly true, because there is an implicit vue.js (and hence node) requirement. What makes things worse is that it only becomes apparent when the user checks why vue-cli deploy throws an exception (it would be nice if the exception was replaced with a simple error message saying the vue.js must be installed).

Also, it would be nice if it was in the description how vue-cli finds the main entry point of the application or how it can be pointed to a custom Python file.

Thanks for using vue.py and pointing this out.

First there are no extra dependencies to vue.js or node. vue.py delivers everything needed to run a app.

Following the steps here should lead to a running app. If not can you please provide the exception traceback?

An app can only live in a app.py, this should be changed in the future. But for now it is static.

If you install not from pypi but the latest version directly from GitHub. Please follow this instructions for deployment.

Sorry for the inconvenience but for now there are some inconsistencies in the documentation between current release and the master-branch.

No problem, thanks! It’s just a small usability issue, so no big deal. I just thought it’s best to keep the issue open so it gets fixed sometime in the future.

Thanks again!
