Tailwind Configuration

[Chat123-lang]

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working on a React application and attempted to configure Tailwind CSS. After running the autoprefixer command, I proceeded with the command npx tailwindcss init -p. However, I encountered two directory-related errors.

Despite changing the directory, the following error persists:

npm ERR! could not determine executable to run
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
C:\Users\Wee App 824\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2025-06-13T10_25_31_968Z-debug-0.log

I consulted an AI tool, which suggested removing spaces from folder names. I implemented this recommendation, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to properly configure Tailwind CSS with my React application.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,

The init command no longer exists in the most recent major version of Tailwind. Consider checking the installation documentation that is most relevant to your project to integrate Tailwind CSS properly.

If you are trying to use v3, ensure the version qualifier is used:

$ npm install -D tailwindcss@3 postcss autoprefixer
$ npx tailwindcss init -p
