Cannot find module 'autoprefixer' when running npx tailwindcss init -p command

Question

I'm using Vue 3 and trying to add tailwindcss into it from the following tutorial. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/vue-3-vite#install-tailwind-via-npm

I have installed the dependencies using the following command,

npm install -D tailwindcss@npm:@tailwindcss/postcss7-compat postcss@^7 autoprefixer@^9

But when I tried to create the configuration files using the following command

npx tailwindcss init -p

It is giving me the following error.

npx: installed 83 in 5.2s Cannot find module 'autoprefixer' Require stack:

• /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli/commands/build.js
• /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli/commands/index.js
• /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli/main.js
• /~/.npm/_npx/33283/lib/node_modules/tailwindcss/lib/cli.js

I don't know why autoprefixer is not detecting because I have already installed it. Even the package.json have it.
