First, let me say, I'm not a frontend developer. I bought the Metronic template specifically so I'd write less frontend code, so I may not understand some concepts.

I've been trying to use the Tailwind version. I followed the guide here: https://keenthemes.com/metronic/tailwind/docs/getting-started/integration/laravel

I've copied all the webpack and tailwind and package js files to my root directory as I would normally, and renamed the source directories to "resources/metronic" and output directories to "/public". This is all building completely fine, is fetching source files correctly, and placing them in the public directory correctly as well.

But when I run "npm run build" it doesn't seem to build any of the plugins defined in "tailwind.config.js", and I cant figure out how to do it.

The layout only works correctly when I copy and paste the pre-built "dist/assets/css/styles.css" directly into the public directly.

The installation documentation is hard to follow, so I've no idea what I'm doing wrong, or how I can get those plugins to build.
