Sass Installation?

For more detailed information about installation: http://sass-lang.com/install

For Linux

If you are using a Linux distribution, you first need to install Ruby. You can install Ruby using the apt package manager. Depending on your Linux distribution, you can find appropriate instructions here: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/#package-management-systems

For example, for Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install ruby-full

Now let’s install Sass:

sudo gem install sass --no-user-install

You should see output like this:

Fetching: sass-3.5.5.gem (100%)
Successfully installed sass-3.5.5
Parsing documentation for sass-3.5.5
Installing ri documentation for sass-3.5.5
Done installing documentation for sass after 3 seconds
1 gem installed

For Windows

Again, we first need to install Ruby. For this, we can download the exe file and install it by clicking next, next, next. Download from: https://rubyinstaller.org/

For Mac

Ruby is already pre-installed on Mac, so you don’t need to install anything extra.

On both Windows and Mac, after Ruby is installed, open the console and type the following to install Sass:

gem install sass

If permission is denied, run it with administrator privileges using the sudo prefix:

sudo gem install sass

To verify the installation, type:

sass -v

You will get the currently installed version as the response, for example: Sass 3.5.4.
