28,690 PointsA few questions, Hanan Ibrahim.
Do you have Nodejs already installed on your machine?
Do you have any version(s) of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your machine?
Am I understanding correctly that you do NOT want to use the Ruby gem to do this?

28,690 PointsDid you visit and go through any of the links that I replied to you in your earlier thread? Perhaps try either of the apps at the bottom of my post there if you don't have very much command line experience.
If you don't want to do that then you could try the following.
** Warning **: While I will outline the set-up, the usage could get a bit technical and you can find that out in the respective packages' pages below.
Be sure you have Nodejs installed and you have a terminal / command window open.
You could install node-sass.
npm install -g node-sass
I believe a limitation with this is the fact that there is no --watch command so it won't automatically compile the .scss to .css; You will have to do it manually - see the documentation in the node-sass link above.
To compensate for the lack of --watch with the node-sass library you could install sass-watch.
npm install -g sass-watch
If you are using these tools then it would be greatly beneficial to use a task manager such as Grunt or Gulp. At this time I will not be going over how to use these tools as there are many tutorials on getting used to using them. Use your favourite search engine to find out more.
