uh Hello friends welcome to this video
0:02
so in this video I will show you how to
0:04
fix this error message so whenever you
0:06
come to your V project if you want to
0:09
integrate Tailwind CSS you execute this
0:11
command npx Tailwind CSS in it- B so as
0:15
you execute this command to initialize
0:18
Tailwind CSS you will see this error
0:20
will come npm error could not determine
0:22
executable to run so as you all know
0:26
Tailwind has released a new version
0:28
which is Tailwind CS SS 4 last month so
0:32
the latest version which is Tailwind CSS
0:35
4 if you also see their official
0:38
documentation so recently Tailwind CSS 4
0:41
is released so it is drastically
0:43
different from Tailwind CSS 3 so that's
0:47
why inside my project as well so if you
0:50
see the package.json file so it's a
0:52
simple V vuejs project and we
0:56
install so let's suppose I remove the
1:00
Tailwind
1:01
dependency also remove this so by
1:04
default if you execute this command
1:07
which is npmi Das D for Dev dependency
1:12
and Tailwind
1:15
CSS and then post CSS Auto
1:19
prefixer so by default if you execute
1:22
this you will see it will install the
1:24
latest
1:25
version so if you see in the dep
1:27
dependencies it will be in installing
1:30
the latest version which is Tailwind CSS
1:33
4.0.5 so in the latest version this
1:36
command will not work so what you need
1:39
to do is that if you want to execute
1:42
this command successfully which is npx
1:46
Tailwind CSS in it- P so this command
1:50
will work for only the older versions
1:52
older than 4.0 so what you need to do
1:55
you know to fix this so what you you
1:59
simply write this command npmi dasd and
2:02
then we simply write Tailwind CSS and
2:07
here we explicitly mention at theate 3
2:10
so we need to install at theate 3 here
2:14
and then post CSS Auto
2:17
prefixer so just change this from 4 to
2:20
three so now as you do this it will
2:23
install the older
2:25
version so which is
2:28
3.4.1 7 so
2:30
now if you execute the same command just
2:33
type this command
2:35
npx Tailwind CSS in it-
2:41
p
2:43
sorry- p so if you see it will create
2:46
this file here post css. config.js and
2:49
tailin Doc config.js so in this way you
2:53
can now include the Tailwind CSS you can
2:56
just fix this error message so the error
3:00
is simple you need to change your
3:02
Tailwind version which is to three the
3:05
latest version doesn't support this so
3:08
it's drastically different you can also
3:10
see their
3:12
documentation which is this version and
3:14
this version is completely different so
3:17
this is this is the dogs for the 3.4
3:21
version so here you it is explicitly
3:23
mention you need to install the atate 3
3:26
so just add this and then this
3:30
command will definitely run so but in
3:33
the latest version this command is not
3:35
supported it is completely different how
3:38
you use Tailwind CSS and beat they do
3:40
offer a documentation you can watch my
3:42
video as well I recently made on how to
3:44
integrate the tailin CSS 4 inside your
3:47
