Error: Cannot find module 'is-color-stop' in Tailwind CLI

While compiling the code for production in Tailwind CLI using:

```
npx tailwindcss -m -o ./build/tailwind.css --purge "./**/*.html" 
```

I get:

```
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:941
  const err = new Error(message);
              ^

But when I try to compile without the `-m` flag:

```terminal
npx tailwindcss -o ./build/tailwind.css --purge "./**/*.html" 
```

It works well without problems. 

According to the help of the CLI (`npx tailwindcss -h`), the `-m` (`--minify`) flag should minify the CSS production file. What did I miss?

npx tailwind-css
