Tailwindcss v4.x seems uninstallable??

[geoidesic]

With 3.x I could just do npx tailwindcss init -p. Now I cannot for the life of me manage to get 4.x installed. The installation instructions don't work for me and it's gone from auto-config to impossible degree of manual config. Why on earth would you do that??

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.

How do they not work? What errors are you experiencing?

I'm not sure what you mean by auto-config. Tailwind didn't have any sort of automatic configuration in v3. If you are talking about the init command generating the Tailwind configuration file boilerplate, this isn't needed anymore since the configuration is done in CSS.
