Basically, using AI is the wrong path if you don't understand the technology. First, learn enough to interpret and use AI's answers professionally.

So, you're using PHP. That's actually irrelevant.

You use HTML-CSS-JS for the frontend. To use TailwindCSS in your project, you need the following basics and tools:

• Node.js and NPM (download and install the LTS version v20 or v22 from the official Node.js website) - this also gives you access to the NPM package manager.
• Node.js allows your computer to run JavaScript code outside the browser.
• With NPM, you can install JS packages written by others into your project, such as TailwindCSS.
• TailwindCSS is primarily a developer tool that, after making your changes, generates static CSS during the so-called production build. You can then use this CSS in your project and load it in your HTML.
• TailwindCSS analyzes your files and collects which classes you've used, so the generated CSS file only includes the classes you actually used. This way, the generated CSS isn't huge - it only contains what's necessary, but everything needed.
• It's important for TailwindCSS that you ignore folders or files not used for development, like .git, node_modules, or dist folders. You might not need to worry about this now, but it's important to read up on later.
• Now that we covered the basics, the easiest way is to install the TailwindCSS v4 package along with the @tailwindcss/cli package that can compile it.

Open a terminal, go to your project folder; and run:

npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/cli

Then follow this guide:

Looking ahead, you can find everything you need to get started on StackOverflow, GitHub Discussions, and in the official documentation. Try to solve your problems on your own and figure out how things work — this will help deepen your understanding.
