To install Element Plus in a Vue 3 project, use npm, yarn, or pnpm to add the dependency, then choose between a full import or on-demand import strategy to integrate the UI library into your application.

The best way to configure Element Plus for on-demand imports involves using specific build-tool plugins for Vite, Webpack, or Nuxt to automatically import components and reduce your project's final bundle size.

You can use Element Plus with both new project initialization and existing Vue 3 apps, applying the installation commands and configuration snippets to integrate the UI library without breaking your current setup.

To set global configuration in Element Plus, define default size and z-index settings during initialization to ensure consistent UI behavior across all components within your Vue 3 application.

Element Plus setup requires different build-tool configurations depending on your environment, providing specific snippets and import strategies tailored for Vite, Webpack, and Nuxt frameworks to ensure proper compilation.
