# `mix cinder.install`
[🔗](https://github.com/sevenseacat/cinder/blob/v0.15.0/lib/mix/tasks/cinder.install.ex#L2)

Installs Cinder and configures Tailwind CSS to include Cinder's styles.

This installer ensures that all Tailwind CSS classes used by Cinder are
included in your application's generated stylesheets by updating your
Tailwind configuration.

The installer also adds a Cinder configuration to your `config/config.exs`
with a `:default_theme`.

## Recommended Installation

For new installations, use Igniter:

```bash
mix igniter.install cinder
```

This will automatically add Cinder to your dependencies and run this installer.

## Manual Installation

If you've already added Cinder to your dependencies manually:

```bash
mix cinder.install
```

## What it does

1. Adds Cinder's files to your Tailwind configuration content paths
2. Provides setup instructions for using Cinder in your application
3. Shows example usage to get you started quickly

## Tailwind Configuration

The installer will attempt to automatically update your Tailwind configuration:

- **Tailwind v3 and below**: Updates `tailwind.config.js` content array
- **Tailwind v4**: Adds `@import` directives to your CSS file

If automatic configuration fails, manual setup instructions will be provided.

## Next Steps

After installation:

1. Add Cinder.setup() to your Application.start/2 function (if using custom filters)
2. Start using Cinder tables in your LiveView templates
3. Explore the documentation for advanced features
