Bermon Painter 6c54fd7c30 Writing content /install
- Restructured the content to focus on the 2 ways to get Sass installed: GUI & the command line
- Added icons (they need to be converted to SVG or webfonts so they look pretty)
- Added a version YML file so we can add the current Sass version, name and release notes in a single location to use throughout the site.

%h3 Applications
%p There are a a good many applications that will get you up and running 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>.
/ The applications are listed in alphabetical order. As new applications are released they should be added to the list.

%h3 Command Line
#install-ruby-linux
%strong 1. Linux
%p If you're using a distribution of Linux, you'll need to install Ruby first. You can use --something--, or --something--, or --something else--.
#install-ruby-windows
%strong 1. Windows
%p 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.
%p Along with Ruby the installer will also install a Ruby command line application that you will let you use the Ruby libraries. Open --application name--.
#install-ruby-mac
%strong 1. Mac
%p 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.
%p Here's the quickest way we've found to start using Sass by using the command line:
%ol
%li
%p <strong>2. Open your command line application.</strong> On the Mac the Terminal.app comes installed by default. It's located in your "Utilities" folder.
%li
%p <strong>3. Install Sass.</strong> Ruby uses Gems to manage it's 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 magical.
%li
%p <strong>4. 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
%p It should return <code>Sass #{data.version.number} (#{data.version.name})</code>. Congratulations! You've successfully installed Sass.
%li
%p <strong>5. Go and play.</strong> If you're brand new to Sass we've set up some resources to help you learn pretty darn quick.

%h3 Frameworks
%p
If you or your team is using a dynamic web language or framework, then
chances are that Sass support is available. This is the most popular
way to use Sass, but sometimes it does require some changes to your
project. Here is just a partial list of the frameworks that have Sass
support:
%ul
%li
= link_to "Rails", 'http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html'
%li= link_to "Node.js", 'https://github.com/andrew/node-sass'
%li= link_to "Drupal", 'http://drupal.org/project/sass'
%li
= link_to "CodeIgniter", 'http://getsparks.org/packages/sass/versions/HEAD/show'
%li
= link_to "Yii", 'http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/haml-and-sass/'
%li= link_to ".net", 'http://libsassnet.codeplex.com/'
%li
= link_to "Joomla", 'http://www.joomlavision.com/started-sass/'
%p
This is a very partial list. Just search the web for the name of your
framework + Sass and it's likely to come up.
