CamTheGoblin 9091dcdc1b docs(install): Clarify & Match tsconfig Edits (#1642)
This is a small update to the installation instructions for some of the frameworks to make the instructions on editing the tsconfig file consistant across the frameworks, and remove some potentially confusing wording (if people read too fast...like me). 

Mainly applying the gatsby tsconfig instructions to vite and astro, as it is the most clear. 
Additionally changed the wording from:
```
 Add the code below to the compilerOptions...
```
to:
```
Add the following code to the compilerOptions...
```
to avoid people easily misreading it as "add the code **below the** compilerOptions".

description: Install and configure Vite.

<Steps>
### Create project
Start by creating a new React project using `vite`:
```bash
npm create vite@latest
```
### Add Tailwind and its configuration
Install `tailwindcss` and its peer dependencies, then generate your `tailwind.config.js` and `postcss.config.js` files:
```bash
npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
```
### Edit tsconfig.json file
Add the following code to the `tsconfig.json` file to resolve paths:
```ts {4-9} showLineNumbers
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@/*": [
"./src/*"
]
}
// ...
}
}
```
### Update vite.config.ts
Add the following code to the vite.config.ts so your app can resolve paths without error
```bash
# (so you can import "path" without error)
npm i -D @types/node
```
```typescript
import path from "path"
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"
import { defineConfig } from "vite"
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react()],
resolve: {
alias: {
"@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"),
},
},
})
```
### Run the CLI
Run the `shadcn-ui` init command to setup your project:
```bash
npx shadcn-ui@latest init
```
### Configure components.json
You will be asked a few questions to configure `components.json`:
```txt showLineNumbers
Would you like to use TypeScript (recommended)? no / yes
Which style would you like to use? Default
Which color would you like to use as base color? Slate
Where is your global CSS file? src/index.css
Do you want to use CSS variables for colors? no / yes
Where is your tailwind.config.js located? tailwind.config.js
Configure the import alias for components: @/components
Configure the import alias for utils: @/lib/utils
Are you using React Server Components? no / yes (no)
```
### That's it
You can now start adding components to your project.
```bash
npx shadcn-ui@latest add button
```
The command above will add the `Button` component to your project. You can then import it like this:
```tsx {1,6} showLineNumbers
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
export default function Home() {
return (
<div>
<Button>Click me</Button>
</div>
)
}
```
</Steps>
