6,620 PointsHelp on Sass Watching
I'm having trouble getting Sass to work on my Macbook Air.
I have three files open on my desktop for easy access: main.css, main.scss, and index.html. I've already installed Sass. I ran:
sass input.scss output.css
...and it spit out:
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - input.scss
Use --trace for backtrace.
I then told Sass to watch the file by using
sass --watch input.scss:output.css
but it returns
error No such file or directory - input.scss
I then substituted input.scss for main.scss, but nothing happens in my Terminal. Can someone help? Thanks!

cd ~/Desktop

6,620 PointsGot into the desktop, then ran sass --watch. Terminal gave me:
What files should I watch? Did you mean something like: sass --watch input.sass:output.css sass --watch input-dir:output-dir Use --trace for backtrace.I put
sass --watch input.sass:output.css, which gave me the same error message of no such file or directory.Michael Hulet

47,908 PointsYou're supposed to input the name of your file, and the name of the file Sass should write to. Using the names in your original question, your command should look like this:
sass --watch main.scss:main.css
