First you need to create a new project using Nuxt.js, for more details check the Nuxt.js Official Documentation

Then you need to install Tailwind CSS since @material-tailwind/html is working with Tailwind CSS classes and you need to have Tailwind CSS installed on your project. Check Tailwind CSS Installation for Nuxt.js on Tailwind CSS Documentation

Using PNPM

Once you install @material-tailwind/html you need to wrap your tailwind css configurations with the withMT() function coming from @material-tailwind/html/utils.

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
import withMT from "@material-tailwind/html/utils/withMT";
 
export default withMT({
  content: [
    "./components/**/*.{js,vue,ts}",
    "./layouts/**/*.vue",
    "./pages/**/*.vue",
    "./plugins/**/*.{js,ts}",
    "./app.vue",
    "./error.vue",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
});

Ripple Effect

@material-tailwind/html comes with a ripple effect script file same as Material Design ripple effect and you can simply use it by adding it's CDN link to you project and add the data-ripple-light="true" for light ripple effect and data-ripple-dark="true" for dark ripple effect as an attribute for components

The ripple effect used in @material-tailwind/html is a separate package called material-ripple-effect

Add the following script to the nuxt.config.ts file in your project.

// https://nuxt.com/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  app: {
    head: {
      script: [
        {
          async: true,
          src: "https://unpkg.com/@material-tailwind/html/scripts/ripple.js",
        },
      ],
    },
  },
  devtools: { enabled: true },
  css: ["~/assets/css/main.css"],
  postcss: {
    plugins: {
      tailwindcss: {},
      autoprefixer: {},
    },
  },
});

Now you're good to go and use @material-tailwind/html in your project.
