Install Sass step by step

Install Sass step by step.

Before you start using Sass you will need to install Ruby.
The easiest way to get Ruby on your Windows computer is to use Ruby Installer. It’s a single-click installer that will get everything set up for you super fast.

The installer will also install a Ruby command line Powershell application that will let you use the Ruby libraries.

Install Sass

Here’s the quickest way we’ve found to start using Sass by using the command line:

1. Open your Terminal or Command Prompt. On the Mac the Terminal.app comes installed by default. It’s located in your “Utilities” folder. On Windows, run
   
   cmd

   1

   cmd

2. Install Sass. Ruby uses Gems to manage its various packages of code like Sass. In your open terminal window type:
   
   gem install sass

   1	gem install sass

   This will install Sass and any dependencies for you. It’s pretty magical. If you get an error message then it’s likely you will need to use the sudo command to install the Sass gem. It would look like:
   
   sudo gem install sass

   1	sudo gem install sass

3. Double-check. You should now have Sass installed, but it never hurts to double-check. In your terminal application you can type:
   
   sass -v

   1

   sass -v

   It should return Sass 3.4.22 (Selective Steve). Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed Sass.
