Install Tailwind CSS with Nuxt

Create your project
Start by creating a new Nuxt project if you don’t have one set up already. The most common approach is to use the Nuxt Command Line Interface.
Terminal
```
npx nuxi init my-projectcd my-project
```
Install Tailwind CSS
Install tailwindcss and its peer dependencies via npm, and then run the init command to generate a tailwind.config.js file.
Terminal
```
npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixernpx tailwindcss init
```

Add Tailwind to your PostCSS configuration

Add tailwindcss and autoprefixer to the postcss.plugins object in your nuxt.config.js file.

nuxt.config.js

// https://nuxt.com/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devtools: { enabled: true },
  postcss: {
    plugins: {
      tailwindcss: {},
      autoprefixer: {},
    },
  },
})

Configure your template paths

Add the paths to all of your template files in your tailwind.config.js file.

tailwind.config.js

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./components/**/*.{js,vue,ts}",
    "./layouts/**/*.vue",
    "./pages/**/*.vue",
    "./plugins/**/*.{js,ts}",
    "./app.vue",
    "./error.vue",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Add the Tailwind directives to your CSS
Create an ./assets/css/main.css file and add the @tailwind directives for each of Tailwind’s layers.
main.css
```
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
```

Add the CSS file globally

Add your newly-created ./assets/css/main.css to the css array in your nuxt.config.js file.

nuxt.config.js

// https://nuxt.com/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devtools: { enabled: true },
  css: ['~/assets/css/main.css'],
  postcss: {
    plugins: {
      tailwindcss: {},
      autoprefixer: {},
    },
  },
})

Start your build process
Run your build process with npm run dev.
Terminal
```
npm run dev
```
