+    Quick start guide for installing and configuring Tailwind.
+</div>
 
+## 1. Install the dependency
+
+Tailwind is [available on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tailwindcss) and can be installed using npm or Yarn.
+
+<div class="bg-smoke-lighter font-mono text-sm p-4">
+    <div class="text-smoke-darker"># Using npm</div>
+    <div class="text-purple-dark">npm install <span class="text-blue-dark">tailwindcss</span></div>
+    <div class="text-smoke-darker mt-6"># Using Yarn</div>
+    <div class="text-purple-dark">yarn install <span class="text-blue-dark">tailwindcss</span></div>
+</div>
+
+## 2. Create a Tailwind config file
+
+Tailwind is configured almost entirely in plain JavaScript. To do this you'll need to generate a Tailwind config file for your project. We recommend creating a `tailwind.js` file in your project's root. We've provided a CLI utility to do this easily:
+
+<div class="bg-smoke-lighter font-mono text-sm p-4">
+<div class="text-purple-dark">./node_modules/.bin/tailwind <span class="text-blue-dark">init</span> <span class="text-smoke-darker">[filename]</span></div>
+</div>
+
+Alternatively, you can simply copy the default config file [from here](https://github.com/nothingworksinc/tailwindcss/blob/master/defaultConfig.js).
+
+## 3. Add Tailwind to your CSS
+
+Next, you need to add Tailwind to your main stylesheet. This can be plain CSS, Less, Sass, Stylus, or something else. There order here is important, so please follow this structure:
 
 ```less
+/**
+ * This injects Tailwind's base styles, which is a combination of
+ * Normalize.css and some additional base styles.
+ *
+ * You can see the styles here:
+ * https://github.com/nothingworksinc/tailwindcss/blob/master/css/preflight.css
+ */
 @tailwind reset;
 
-// Your custom base styles
-
-// Your custom components
+/**
+ * Here you would import any custom component classes; stuff that you'd
+ * want loaded *before* the utilities so that the utilities can still
+ * override them.
+ */
+@import "my-components/foo";
+@import "my-components/bar";
 
+/**
+ * This injects all of Tailwind's utility classes, generated based on your
+ * config file.
+ */
 @tailwind utilities;
 
-// Your custom utilities
+/**
+ * Here you would add any custom utilities you need that don't come out of the box with Tailwind.
+ */
+.bg-hero-image {
+    background-image: url('/some/image/file.png');
+}
+```
+
+## 4. Add Tailwind to your build process
+
+Finally, you'll need to add Tailwind to your build process. Fair warning: this can be the trickiest step. For simple projects you can use the Tailwind CLI tool to generate your CSS:
+
+<div class="bg-smoke-lighter font-mono text-sm p-4">
+<div class="text-purple-dark">./node_modules/.bin/tailwind <span class="text-blue-dark">styles.css</span> <span class="text-smoke-darker">[-c ./custom-config.js] [-o ./output.css]</span></div>
+</div>
+
+For most projects, you'll want to add Tailwind as a PostCSS plugin in your build chain, passing your config object as a parameter. Here's an example using [Laravel Mix](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/mix):
+
+```js
+const mix = require('laravel-mix');
+const tailwind = require('tailwindcss');
+
+mix.less('resources/assets/less/app.less', 'public/css')
+  .options({
+    postCss: [
+      tailwind(require('./path/to/your/tailwind/config.js'))
+    ]
+  });
 ```
