19,560 PointsSass install confusion
Hello,
i ran " gem install sass " on the command line (terminal) but recieved the error: " While executing gem ...(Gem:: FilePermissionError) You don't have permission for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory."
However, when i continue along with the video and go to check my version of Sass ( running " sass --version " in the terminal), it says i have "Sass 3.2.14".
So is Sass installed correctly or do i need to do some more research? I would prefer not to mess around too much in the terminal since i have very limited experience and would prefer not to mess up my system!
Thank you ahead of time. It is greatly appreciated !

Since it's actually displaying the verison for sass, then you're probably good to go. Check with the sudo command anyways. Better safe than sorry.
Maybe you can try sudoing the command like this:
sudo gem install sass
If it's installed, it will probably report back that the gem is already installed on your computer.

Thank you for your help!
