type "sudo gem install sass" and it will ask you for your password and should install after that.

Hope you mean "gem" not "gym"

Just FYI if you are running OS X Mavericks, and you use the "sudo gem install sass" you are likely to encounter the following message

"rake's executable "rake" conflicts with /user/bin/rake Overwrite the executable? [yN]"

Daunting. After googling this, I found this helpful post: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/1564

Long story short, you can confidently proceed with "y" to install.
