## Usage

#### Using with [Postcss](https://github.com/postcss/postcss)

Import the css module

```css
@import "tachyons-cli";
```

Then process the css using the [`tachyons-cli`](https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons-cli)

```sh
$ npm i -g tachyons-cli
$ tachyons path/to/css-file.css > dist/t.css
```

#### Using the css

##### CDN
The easiest and most simple way to use the css is to use the cdn hosted version. Include it in the head of your html with:

```
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://unpkg.com/tachyons-cli@1.0.11/css/tachyons-cli.min.css" />
```

##### Locally
The built css is located in the `css` directory. It contains an unminified and minified version.
You can either cut and paste that css or link to it directly in your html.

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/module/css/tachyons-cli">
```

#### Development

The source css files can be found in the `src` directory.
Running `$ npm start` will process the source css and place the built css in the `css` directory.
