   4. In the Filename field, type the name for the mutually related .js, .html, and .css files that will be generated. The field is available only if the Default sample type is selected from the Template drop-dow list.

4. When you click Create, PyCharm generates a skeleton of a Meteor application, including an HTML file, a JavaScript file, a CSS file, and a .meteor folder with subfolders. PyCharm automatically marks the .meteor/local folder, which is intended for storing the built application, as excluded but still shows it in the project tree.

   By default, excluded files are shown in the project tree. To hide the .meteor/local folder, click on the toolbar of the Project tool window, select Tree Appearance, and remove a tick next to the Show Excluded Files option.

   3. From the Vue CLI list, select npx --package @vue/cli vue.

      Alternatively, for npm version 5.1 and earlier, install the @vue/cli package yourself by running npm install --g @vue/cli in the Terminal Alt+F12. When creating an application, select the folder where the @vue/cli package is stored.

   4. From the Project template list, choose the Vue.js template to use.

4. When you click Create, PyCharm asks you some additional questions about tools, like linters and the test runner, that can be added to the project. These questions vary depending on the template you've selected. After that, PyCharm generates a Vue.js-specific project with all the required configuration files.
