Tailwind without NodeJS

How can I use Tailwind CSS IntelliSense - Visual Studio Marketplace when installing tailwind with this package?

I get this error from the plugin:

[Error - 11:10:05 AM] Tailwind CSS: Can't resolve 'tailwindcss' in '/<path-to-app>/assets'

So the plugin finds the generated tailwind.config.js but not tailwindcss.

When I install with

npm install -D tailwindcss

the plugin works.
