How to start a new static website project with SASS installed in MACOS


I was trying to install sass in one of my latest static website project, But got up with a few errors like FAILED TO BUILD GEM NATIVE EXTENSIONS. Its been 5 years I used sass last time, that time it was quite easy by simply adding gem install sass, But I found its difficult.

I have read a few articles and there its saying to install brew, RVM etc etc. I use MACOS. How can I solve my problem from scratch? What should I install and where to install (root / inside project folder).


Solution

  • ruby-sass has been deprecated, and it's recommended that you use another installation method. https://sass-lang.com/install

    I recommend installing via brew (which is a package manager for OS X) since you're on OS X. https://brew.sh/

    To install Brew, open your terminal and paste this:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
    

    Once the install completes, enter the following command:

    brew install sass/sass/sass
