This guide will walk you through how to install Tailwind CSS v3 in your Next.js application.
Good to know: For the latest Tailwind 4 setup, see the Tailwind CSS setup instructions.
Installing Tailwind v3
Install Tailwind CSS and its peer dependencies, then run the init command to generate both tailwind.config.js and postcss.config.js files:
pnpm add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
npm install -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
yarn add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
bun add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
bunx tailwindcss init -p
Configuring Tailwind v3
Configure your template paths in your tailwind.config.js file:
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
content: [
'./app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
'./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
'./components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
Add the Tailwind directives to your global CSS file:
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
Import the CSS file in your root layout:
import './globals.css'
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode
}) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>{children}</body>
</html>
)
}
import './globals.css'
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>{children}</body>
</html>
)
}
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
content: [
'./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
'./components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
'./app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
Add the Tailwind directives to your global CSS file:
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
Import the CSS file in your pages/_app.js file:
import '@/styles/globals.css'
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
Using classes
After installing Tailwind CSS and adding the global styles, you can use Tailwind's utility classes in your application.
export default function Page() {
return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
export default function Page() {
return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
export default function Page() {
return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
export default function Page() {
return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
