In this tutorial we can see how to import and export a view, you can do full configuration also, so lets start

1) Login to Drupal 8 with user having administrator role.

2) Navigate to admin >> Configuration >> Development >> Configuration Synchronization >> Export

or you can navigate using the path also "/admin/config/development/configuration/full/export"

3) Now go to single item export or navigate "/admin/config/development/configuration/single/export"

4) Now select a "View" from Configuration Type and select a view you want to export.

5) Now copy the text inside generated "Here is your configuration:"  and Paste it another website where you want to import that views at this path "/admin/config/development/configuration/single/import"

,but make sure the fields and content type are available before the import else you got the error.
