Issues installing Tailwindcss, specifically with "npx tailwindcss init"

Im following the documentation but im stuck right at the npx tailwindcss init https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation

1. Check if your directory is initialized as a node project, i.e. it contains package.json file. If not then do this:

$/> npm init -y

2. Install tailwindcss as a dev dependency (optional as a dev dependency)

$/> npm i -D tailwindcss
