## Setup

### Create a Vue Application

You can use [`Vue CLI`](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli) to setup your Vue 2 applications.To install Vue CLI use the following commands.

```bash
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init
vue init webpack-simple quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install
```

Initiating a new project prompts us to choose the type of project to be used for the current application. Select the option `Default ([Vue 2] babel, eslint)` from the menu.

### Adding Syncfusion&reg; PDF Viewer package

All Syncfusion&reg; Vue packages are published in [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/~syncfusionorg) registry. To install Vue PDF Viewer package, use the following command.

```bash
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-pdfviewer --save
