(Mainly) for Windows user:

Download JDK

Manually https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases
winget install EclipseAdoptium.Temurin.25.JDK

Download Gradle

if your not using scoop make sure you have set gradle as the system environnement variable on your current system.

Via Scoop package manager.

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression

scoop bucket add main
scoop install main/gradle

Check JDK uniqueness

java --version and gradle -version

(Important) - Make sur it's using the same JAVA_HOME.

Download LSP

Download https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-lsp/releases/
Open your editor
Drag and Drog the LSP that you download on the extension panel.
Go to settings > extension > kotlin by jetbrain, and set the JAVA_HOME PATH to JDK label.

This tutorial follow the original guide from Tailwind installation/tailwind-cli.

Installing will ensure that you can create your own custom CSS classes, and handling as well HMR. In a Vanilla web project structure without vite or other modern framework.

Full document Google drive : Simple HTML Tailwind Integration With Bun

Recommended project structure :
./src/
./index.html

Installing TailwindCSS & Tailwind CLI.
bun install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/cli
Create a index.css in your src/ folder.
Copy & paste :

@import "tailwindcss";
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

At your root project directory create a tailwind.config.js file. Copy & paste :

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./src/**/*.{html,js}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
};

Make sure you remove any tailwind CDN.
Build the CSS classes with the following command bun run tailwindcss -i ./src/input.css -o ./src/output.css --watch.
It will detect all the changes and apply it in the output.css file
Run your project in localhost with bun run ./index.html.
Add the <link rel="stylesheet" href="./src/output.css"> to your index.html file.

And that's it, you will now be able to practice Tailwind CSS Without the CDN.
