23,289 PointsHow to use Compass or Bourbon with Sass?
I'm currently doing the Sass Basics course but I'm having a small problem, I'm running Sass on Windows and I can't follow exactly what the teacher is doing, I've tried different things but when I -- watch the screen.scss file generated when I create a Compass project I get the following error "File to import not found or unreadable: compass/reset".
Anyone out there using Sass on Windows?

I have been told I have successfully installed the bourbon 4.2.1 gem and thor piggybacked on it. But I have yet to find the libraries/folders that the video shows.
I haven't tried the Compass yet. Hope some of this is helpful.

61,321 PointsI'm actually developing on a Mac, so, sorry I wont be able to help you out on how to use Compass using the Windows command prompt or anything of the like. What I can suggest for you though is to try using an app as an alternative to using the command prompt or whatever it was you're using (assuming you weren't using an app already). I'm currently using Koala, it's an app that compiles CSS, LESS and some scripting languages. It's very easy to use. In it, all you have to do is check a box that says "Compass Mode" and the app automatically provides the Compass functions and mixins that it has. You will still have to generate a config.rb file for your projects but thats about the only thing you will need (if anything i just copy and paste that file across my projects since the settings normally stay the same).
For a link to the app download, go to this:

If you get stuck on installing it or knowing how to use it, you can send me a comment or read up some of the documentation on the website (in case if it's a more technical issue).
