  2. Install Tailwind CSS

    Terminal
    npm install -D tailwindcssnpx tailwindcss init --ts

  3. Configure your template paths

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

    tailwind.config.ts
    import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'

export default {
  content: ['./app/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
} satisfies Config

  4. Add the Tailwind directives to your CSS

    Create a ./app/tailwind.css file and add the @tailwind directives for each of Tailwind’s layers.

    tailwind.css
    @tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

  5. Import the CSS file

    Import the newly-created ./app/tailwind.css file in your ./app/root.jsx file.

    root.tsx
    import stylesheet from "~/tailwind.css";

export const links: LinksFunction = () => [
  { rel: "stylesheet", href: stylesheet },
];

  6. Start your build process

    Run your build process with npm run dev.

    Terminal
    npm run dev

  7. Start using Tailwind in your project

    Start using Tailwind’s utility classes to style your content.

    index.tsx
    export default function Index() {
  return (
    <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">
      Hello world!
    </h1>
  )
