Tailwind CSS on a Mac

Utility-first CSS — standalone build CLI (no Node) · Runtimes

Tailwind CSS is the utility-first CSS framework: you compose styles from small classes in your markup, and its build step scans your templates and emits a minimal stylesheet of only the classes you used. The standalone CLI is a self-contained binary — no Node or npm — so it fits server-rendered sites (PHP, Python, plain HTML) served from the Sites pane: brew install tailwindcss, then tailwindcss -i in.css -o out.css --watch rebuilds the CSS as you edit, and --minify produces the production file. It's a build tool, not a server — detected by its binary, with no port or daemon to monitor (the compiled CSS is a static asset Apache/Nginx serves like any other).
