description: Install and configure shadcn/ui for Vite.

<Callout type="info">
**Note:** The following guide is for Tailwind v4. If you are using Tailwind
v3, use `shadcn@2.3.0`.
</Callout>
<Steps>
<Step>
### Create project
Start by creating a new React project using `vite`. Select the **React + TypeScript** template:
```bash
npm create vite@latest
```
</Step>
<Step>
### Add Tailwind CSS
```bash
npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite
```
Replace everything in `src/index.css` with the following:
```css title="src/index.css"
@import 'tailwindcss';
```
</Step>
<Step>
### Edit tsconfig.json file
The current version of Vite splits TypeScript configuration into three files, two of which need to be edited.
Add the `baseUrl` and `paths` properties to the `compilerOptions` section of the `tsconfig.json` and
`tsconfig.app.json` files:
```ts {11-16} showLineNumbers
{
"files": [],
"references": [
{
"path": "./tsconfig.app.json"
},
{
"path": "./tsconfig.node.json"
}
],
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": ["./src/*"]
}
}
}
```
</Step>
<Step>
### Edit tsconfig.app.json file
Add the following code to the `tsconfig.app.json` file to resolve paths, for your IDE:
```ts {4-9} showLineNumbers
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": [
"./src/*"
]
}
// ...
}
}
```
</Step>
<Step>
### Update vite.config.ts
Add the following code to the vite.config.ts so your app can resolve paths without error:
```bash
npm install -D @types/node
```
```typescript title="vite.config.ts" showLineNumbers {1,2,8-13}
import path from 'path';
import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
// https://vite.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
resolve: {
alias: {
'@': path.resolve(__dirname, './src'),
},
},
});
```
</Step>
<Step>
### Run the CLI
Run the `shadcn` init command to setup your project:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init
```
You will be asked a few questions to configure `components.json`.
```txt
Which color would you like to use as base color? Neutral
```
</Step>
<Step>
### Add Components
You can now start adding components to your project.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add button
```
The command above will add the `Button` component to your project. You can then import it like this:
```tsx showLineNumbers title="src/App.tsx"
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
function App() {
return (
<div className="flex flex-col items-center justify-center min-h-svh">
<Button>Click me</Button>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
```
</Step>
