Pinia Docs instructions not working for Nuxt3

[dbzx10299]

I am using nuxt with the latest version ^3.2.2 and I needed to start using a store so I went to the docs and followed the instructions with npm.

I ran this command

npm install pinia @pinia/nuxt

and this led to the below error

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

There are further instructions to add this to the package.json file:

"overrides": {
  "vue": "latest"
}

Once this is finished there is another error

npm ERR! Invalid comparator: latest

I tried deleting the package-lock.json file and the node_modules folder and still I kept getting the same error.

The only thing that worked and I don't know if it's wrong to do this but I had to run

npm i --force pinia @pinia/nuxt

Use a different package manager e.g yarn or pnpm. Only npm has this problem
