# `mix tailwind.install`
[🔗](https://github.com/phoenixframework/tailwind/blob/v0.5.2/lib/mix/tasks/tailwind.install.ex#L1)

Installs Tailwind executable and assets.

Usage:

    $ mix tailwind.install TASK_OPTIONS BASE_URL

Example:

    $ mix tailwind.install
    $ mix tailwind.install --if-missing

By default, it installs 4.3.0 but you
can configure it in your config files, such as:

    config :tailwind, :version, "4.3.0"

To install the Tailwind binary from a custom URL (e.g. if your platform isn't
officially supported by Tailwind), you can supply a third party path to the
binary (beware that we cannot guarantee the compatibility of any third party
executable):

    $ mix tailwind.install https://people.freebsd.org/~dch/pub/tailwind/$version/tailwindcss-$target

## Options

  * `--runtime-config` - load the runtime configuration
    before executing command

  * `--if-missing` - install only if the given version
    does not exist
