There are a good many applications that will get you up and running
|
2013-10-12 23:39:55 +02:00
|
|
|
with Sass in a few minutes for Mac, Windows, and Linux. You can download
|
|
|
|
most of the applications for free but a few of them are paid apps
|
|
|
|
<small>(and totally worth it)</small>.

If you're using a distribution of Linux, you'll need to install Ruby
|
2013-10-16 14:10:57 +02:00
|
|
|
first. You can install Ruby through the apt package manager, rbenv, or rvm.
|
2013-05-19 22:22:05 +02:00

%dd
|
|
|
|
Before you start using Sass you will need to install Ruby. The fastest
|
|
|
|
way to get Ruby on your Windows computer is to use
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.rubyinstaller.org">Ruby Installer</a>. It's a
|
|
|
|
single-click installer that will get everything set up for you super
|
|
|
|
fast.
|

|
|
|
%dd
|
2013-10-16 14:10:57 +02:00
|
|
|
The installer will also install a Ruby command line
|
|
|
|
powershell application that will let you use the Ruby libraries.
|

If you prefer the command line over an application then getting Sass
|
|
|
|
set up is a fairly quick process. Sass has a Ruby dependency but if
|
|
|
|
you're using a Mac, congratulations, Ruby comes pre-installed.

Here's the quickest way we've found to start using Sass by using
|
|
|
|
the command line:
|
2013-10-11 22:17:32 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2013-10-12 23:39:55 +02:00
|
|
|
%ol
|
|
|
|
%li
|
|
|
|
%p
|
|
|
|
<strong>Open your command line application.</strong> On the
|
|
|
|
Mac the Terminal.app comes installed by default. It's located
|
|
|
|
in your "Utilities" folder.
|
2013-10-11 22:17:32 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2013-10-12 23:39:55 +02:00
|
|
|
%li
|
|
|
|
%p
|
2013-10-14 01:57:42 +02:00
|
|
|
<strong>Install Sass.</strong> Ruby uses Gems to manage its
|
2013-10-12 23:39:55 +02:00
|
|
|
various packages of code like Sass. In your open terminal
|
|
|
|
window type:
|
|
|
|
%pre
|
|
|
|
:preserve
|
|
|
|
gem install sass
|
|
|
|
%p
|
|
|
|
This will install Sass and any dependencies for you. It's pretty
|
2013-10-16 14:10:57 +02:00
|
|
|
magical. If you get an error message then it's likely you will need to use the <code>sudo</code> command to install the Sass gem. It would look like:
|
|
|
|
%pre
|
|
|
|
:preserve
|
|
|
|
sudo gem install sass
|
2013-10-12 23:39:55 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
%li
|
|
|
|
%p
|
|
|
|
<strong>Double-check.</strong> You should now have Sass
|
|
|
|
installed, but it never hurts to double-check. In your
|
|
|
|
terminal application you can type:
|
|
|
|
%pre
|
|
|
|
:preserve
|
|
|
|
sass -v
|
2013-10-13 01:32:01 +02:00
|
|
|
- if data.respond_to?(:version)
|
|
|
|
%p It should return <code>Sass #{data.version.number} (#{data.version.name})</code>. Congratulations! You've successfully installed Sass.
|
|
|
|
- else
|
|
|
|
%p It should return <code>Sass ???</code>. Congratulations! You've successfully installed Sass.
