Follow the Tailwind CSS installation instructions to get started.

Add Dependencies

Integrate the following dependencies into your project:

npm install class-variance-authority clsx tailwind-merge lucide-react tw-animate-css

Set up path aliases

Set up the path aliases in your tsconfig.json file.

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./*"]
    }
  }
}

Set up styles

src/styles/globals.css

@import "tailwindcss";
@import "tw-animate-css";
 
@custom-variant dark (&:is(.dark *));

Add util file

lib/utils.ts

import { ClassValue, clsx } from "clsx";
import { twMerge } from "tailwind-merge";
 
export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs));
}

Create a components.json file

Create a components.json in the root of your project.

components.json

{
 "$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema.json",
 "style": "new-york",
 "rsc": false,
 "tsx": true,
 "tailwind": {
   "config": "",
   "css": "src/styles/globals.css",
   "baseColor": "neutral",
   "cssVariables": true,
   "prefix": ""
 },
 "aliases": {
   "components": "@/components",
   "utils": "@/lib/utils",
   "ui": "@/components/ui",
   "lib": "@/lib",
   "hooks": "@/hooks"
 },
 "iconLibrary": "lucide"
}

Done, All set.

You can now begin embedding components into your project.
