## 📦 Installation

1. :::cols-12{.gap-4}

   ::col-span-4
   **Install from npm**

   `@twind/core` and `@twind/with-next` are available on npm and need to be installed together.

   ::col-span-8

   ```sh
   npm install @twind/core @twind/with-next
   ```

   ::col-span-4
   **Define the configuration**

   Using an extra file, `twind.config.js`, allows some tools like [IntelliSense](./installation) to find your configuration.

   ::col-span-8

   ```js title="twind.config.js"
   import { defineConfig } from '@twind/core'

   export default defineConfig({
     /* @twind/with-next will use hashed class names in production by default
      * If you don't want this, uncomment the next line
      */
     // hash: false,
   })
   ```

   ::col-span-4
   **Load Twind in the [App component](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/custom-app)**

   `install` creates and registers a twind instance that will generate the styles. This allows third-party packages to import `tw` from the twind package and get the same instance.

   ::col-span-8

   ```js title="pages/_app.js"
   import install from '@twind/with-next/app'
   import config from '../twind.config'

   export default install(config)
   ```

   ::col-span-4
   If you are using a custom App component you need to pass the it to `install`.

   ::col-span-8

   ```diff title="pages/_app.js"
   + import install from '@twind/with-next/app'
   + import config from '../twind.config'
   function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
     /* ... */
   }
   - export default MyApp
   + export default install(config, MyApp)
   ```

   ::col-span-8

   ```js title="pages/_document.js"
   export { default } from '@twind/with-next/document'
   ```

   ::col-span-4
   If you are using a custom Document component you need to pass the it to `install`.

   ::col-span-8

   ```diff title="pages/_document.js"
   import Document, { Html, Head, Main, NextScript } from 'next/document'
   + import install from '@twind/with-next/document'
   class MyDocument extends Document {
     /* ... */
   }
   + export default install(MyDocument)
