Use Tailwind CSS without Node.js
================================

[](#use-tailwind-css-without-nodejs)

This is a patched version of the standalone CLI build of Tailwind CSS for Linux x64 systems, easily installable as a composer package. Contrary to the default CLI, this patched version also includes postcss-import and postcss-nested bundled inside the CLI executable.

1. Install with `composer require webtourismus/tailwindcss-cli`
2. Execute with `./vendor/bin/tailwindcss`
3. (optional) If you want to use import and/or nesting in your CSS source file, use the `--postcss` parameter to specify your PostCSS config file.

Usage example:

```
./vendor/bin/tailwindcss --input my_tailwind_source.css --output my_compiled_tailwind.css --content my_site/*.html --postcss my_custom_postcss.config.css

```

Example `postcss.config.js` file with import and nesting enabled:

```
module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    'postcss-import': {},
    'tailwindcss/nesting': {},
     tailwindcss: {},
     autoprefixer: {},
  }
}

```

See [tailwindcss.com/blog/standalone-cli](https://tailwindcss.com/blog/standalone-cli) for more instructions.
See [tailwindcss.com/docs/using-with-preprocessors](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/using-with-preprocessors#nesting) for PostCSS options.
