    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Create a Nuxt app">

    - Create a Nuxt app using the `npx nuxi` command.

    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Install the Supabase client library">

      The fastest way to get started is to use the `supabase-js` client library which provides a convenient interface for working with Supabase from a Nuxt app.

      Navigate to the Nuxt app and install `supabase-js`.

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```bash name=Terminal
      cd my-app && npm install @supabase/supabase-js
      ```

  </StepHikeCompact.Step>

    <StepHikeCompact.Step step={4}>
    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Declare Supabase Environment Variables">

    Create a `.env` file and populate with your Supabase connection variables:

    <ProjectConfigVariables variable="url" />
    <ProjectConfigVariables variable="publishable" />
    <ProjectConfigVariables variable="anon" />

    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Query data from the app">

    In `app.vue`, create a Supabase client using your config values and replace the existing content with the following code.

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```vue name=app.vue
      <script setup>
      import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
      const config = useRuntimeConfig()
      const supabase = createClient(config.public.supabaseUrl, config.public.supabasePublishableKey)
      const instruments = ref([])

      async function getInstruments() {
        const { data } = await supabase.from('instruments').select()
        instruments.value = data
      }

      onMounted(() => {
        getInstruments()
      })
      </script>

      <template>
        <ul>
          <li v-for="instrument in instruments" :key="instrument.id">{{ instrument.name }}</li>

      ```

    </StepHikeCompact.Code>

  </StepHikeCompact.Step>

  <StepHikeCompact.Step step={6}>
    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Start the app">

    Start the app, navigate to http://localhost:3000 in the browser, open the browser console, and you should see the list of instruments.

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```bash name=Terminal
      npm run dev
