ViewsCannot find module 'autoprefixer' when running npx tailwindcss init -p command
I'm using Vue 3 and trying to add tailwindcss into it from the following tutorial. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/vue-3-vite#install-tailwind-via-npm
I have installed the dependencies using the following command,
npm install -D tailwindcss@npm:@tailwindcss/postcss7-compat postcss@^7 autoprefixer@^9
But when I tried to create the configuration files using the following command
npx tailwindcss init -p
It is giving me the following error.
npx: installed 83 in 5.2s Cannot find module 'autoprefixer' Require stack:
- /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli/commands/build.js
- /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli/commands/index.js
- /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli/main.js
- /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli.js
I don't know why autoprefixer is not detecting because I have already installed it.
Even the package.json have it.

You could use the following command using the tailwindcss cli with latest version an the flag --postcss or -p
npx tailwindcss-cli@latest init --postcss
Or follow these steps :
After installing that dependencies try to create the following files project root without running that command :
tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
purge: [],
darkMode: false, // or 'media' or 'class'
theme: {
extend: {},
},
variants: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
};
postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: {
tailwindcss: {},
autoprefixer: {},
}
}
Then in your main CSS file add :
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Run:
npx tailwindcss-cli@latest init -p

I had the same problem when I ran the command with node version 14.15.0.
Apparently using node 15.5 solved it for me. I think there's a problem with npm or something.

I downgrade the tailwindcss package to 1.0.5 from latest
