Install SASS On Ubuntu

Overview

SASS has allowed CSS to evolve into a more dynamic language such as variables and mixins for re-usability.

Install

sudo apt-get install ruby-full rubygems
sudo gem install sass

Usage

If the following error occurs when you use –watch parameter:

LoadError: no such file to load — rb-inotify
Use –trace for backtrace.

then then rb-notify needs to be installed:
gem install rb-inotify

Summary

SASS is easy to setup and use albeit requires Ruby for processing (which if the project does not use Ruby I don’t think it should be installed). The next step is to integrate it into a CI server like Jenkins.
