init command not available

[DanWeissman]

Hi,

I've installed Tailwind v4 following the Tailwind docs and I don't seem to have access to the init command via the cli - I have access to the other commands as below:

(env) path/to/my/directory % ./tailwindcss init
≈ tailwindcss v4.0.0

Invalid command: init

Usage:
  tailwindcss [options]

Options:
  -i, --input ··········· Input file
  -o, --output ·········· Output file [default: `-`]
  -w, --watch ··········· Watch for changes and rebuild as needed
  -m, --minify ·········· Optimize and minify the output
      --optimize ········ Optimize the output without minifying
      --cwd ············· The current working directory [default: `.`]
  -h, --help ············ Display usage information

Has this been removed in v4? Do I just manually create a config file in root? I have tried that but the watch mode doesn't seem to monitor my files and rebuild as I would expect so wanted to confirm.

Has this been removed in v4?

Yes.

Do I just manually create a config file in root?

No, the JS config file is sort of deprecated now. The configuration is done in the CSS.

Consider checking the installation documentation that is most relevant to your project.

Appreciate the quick response, have downloaded the latest v3 exe and is working as expected.

Will maybe try and set up a project with v4 in the near future, check it out.
