You mean the examples in the link I posted? Those are just javascript and HTML, there's nothing special about them.

Just put that on an HTML file and run it in a browser. No need for any tool other than a text editor.

To compile .vue files you have to use vue-cli (linked on the "Get Started" page), or some third-party tool (instructions here: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/deployment.html).

Ok, upon a second look, it seems that those directives are translated in-place in the HTML document, so indeed I could have coded the examples in HTML. But it feels a bit like magic.

Still, I wonder, how do I make components? Are they also encoded in the DOM tree? It feels a bit strange to encode templates in the actual DOM tree, even without using them.
