npx tailwind in docs is confusing #430

Open ackvf opened 4 years ago

ackvf commented 4 years ago

As discussed here https://github.com/tailwindcss/discuss/issues/304 , people get confused and expect to run commands such as this one npx tailwind build styles.css -o output.css without having to install anything only to be slapped back (several times) with command not found: tailwind

For anyone ending here, using npx tailwindcss does the job since tailwind really is a completely different package on npm. Tailwindcss just places an executable tailwind in your bin folder.

That being said, would you consider updating the docs and placing a little note saying that tailwindcss needs to be installed or npx tailwindcss must be used instead? Thank you!
