Sass Install Help

Hey all I am getting this error when I do "sass test.scss" I have the test.scss file saved on my desktop and I have the most current version of Sass.

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - test.scss Use --trace for backtrace.

Type cd desktop in your command line and then try again.

Installing Sass can be a pain, that's what Scout is for :wink:

From the Scout homepage

> Since Sass and Compass are Ruby gems, they require that you have a working knowledge of Ruby and the command line. Not all designers will know how or want to use command line tools, and that's where Scout steps in.

Scout runs Sass and Compass in a self-contained Ruby environment, letting you effortlessly manage all of your Sass projects with a handful of clicks. You'll never have to worry about your Ruby setup or deal with technical issues. Scout does all of the heavy lifting, giving you more time to do what you love.

In your command line, make sure you have moved into that folder where you have your test.scss file, you can do a ls command, to see if you see your test file

Thanks everyone! Changing directories into desktop is what I was missing. Thanks James, I am trying to stop running from the command line and I am growing an appreciation for it.

Some things the command line excels and running programs isn't necessarily one of them. If you want to learn more about the command line I'd suggest you check out Console Foundations course
