Set up a VPS and deploy a project on Nuxt?

Question

Vue.js

Hello.
The day has come when I need to roll out my first Nuxt project.
For almost a week now I have been looking for a manual for setting up vps under nuxt.

Do I understand correctly that the procedure should be like this ( OS Ubuntu ):
- connect via SSH to the server;
- install git and clone the project repository (question: where exactly? to the root? or should there be some kind of working folder?);
- I install node.js and npm (db is not needed) in the same place (is nginx also needed at the same time? if so, how to install it?);
- install all the dependencies that I have in package.json;
- after all this, you need to run the project npm run start, because I have:

"scripts": {
    "dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development nodemon server/index.js --watch server",
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "start": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node server/index.js",
    "generate": "nuxt generate",
    "heroku-postbuild": "npm run build"
  },

?

Am I reasoning in the right way or am I too naive in what I wrote?

It is better not to clone the project, and use special deployment tools. In this case, the build does not take place on the server where it will be executed, but on the build machine.
It is better to create a special user and deploy the project in his directory.
