8,439 PointsGetting Started with Sass Stage 1
I following the teachers notes to install ruby with windows then Sass. When I type sass --version into my command window I get back 3.3.4 (Maptastic Maple). I then make my test.scss file in my text editor- notepad++. But when i put sass test.scss into my command window I get- Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - test.scss Use -- trace for backtrace.
As this is the first lesson with Sass and the first time ive ever opened a command prompt I could use some help.
Thanks.

I do recommend using Compass though. Even if you understand everything he's doing, Compass makes the process a ton simpler, and works just the same.

Using compass.app does, but so does any of the Sass GUI applications.
