no available GitHub binary for tailwindcss@{}

Error message

no available GitHub binary for tailwindcss@{}

What it means

Raised in Tailwind::install_github when git_install_url() returns None: the tailwindcss version plus current OS/architecture has no corresponding prebuilt binary published on GitHub releases, so the GitHub installation route is impossible and another install path must be used.
