4,866 PointsHelp with Terminal. It won't install Sass
I am using a Mac 10.6.8 and I have a hard time with Terminal. For instance, I have been trying to install Sass by using: gem install sass. At first it seemed like it was installing but when I double checked by typing "sass -v," it didn't return "Sass 3.2.12 (Media Mark)".
I will appreciate any help. Thank you!

ruby -v
gem -v
commands in your terminal?

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin GEM_NAME_HERE
