Tailwind just released a standalone CLI in self-contained executable, no Node.js or npm required.
You get all the power of the standard npm-distributed CLI in a convenient, portable package — no dependencies required.
Get started
Download the executable for your platform from the latest release.
Copy it to the root directory of your project.
Rename the executable "tailwindcss" .
Now you can use it just like the npm-distributed CLI tool:
# Create a tailwind.config.js file
./tailwindcss init
# Start a watcher
./tailwindcss -i input.css -o output.css --watch
# Compile and minify your CSS for production
./tailwindcss -i input.css -o output.css --minify
It comes bundled with the latest versions of all of tailwind's first-party plugins, so if you want to use them in your project, just require them in your tailwind.config.js file like you would in a Node-based project:
module.exports = {
// ...
plugins: [
require('@tailwindcss/forms'),
require('@tailwindcss/typography'),
]
}
