15,789 PointsHelp installing Sass on my Mac
Upon trying to install Sass on my Mac I get this error...
Ians-MBP:~ Ian$ gem install sass
Fetching: sass-3.4.22.gem (100%)
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.
Ians-MBP:~ Ian$
Does anyone have any ideas as to why?
An help would be greatly appreciated.

48 Pointssudo gem install sass should work.
It'll ask for a password, which is the one you use to login to the machine.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 15,770 PointsHello Ian. If I'am right you're moste likely to have gem SASS (which is part of Ruby) on your Mac. Try not to install that gem. Just try to run sass with watch command : sass --watch scss:css e.t.c. Hope this helps ;) You can try sudo gem update --system.
