Try cd ~/Desktop in the command line first
Than try fetching your Sass file.

Courses Plus Student 46,022 PointsHi again!
I'd recommend that you take the Console Foundations course before proceeding with learning Sass. It'll teach you the basics about how to work with a command line interface.
Or, if you want to get started with Sass without using the Terminal, a Google search for a Sass GUI should point you in the right direction.

5,057 Pointswoohoo! I'm clearly still learning. Thanks a bunch, Kevin!

28,149 PointsNo problem. I'm still learning too! Especially when it comes to the terminal. A quick unstuck is always nice, but the other suggestions from Ryan and Ben are great solutions too!

Run "ls" to verify that test.scss is located in your current directory. I haven't used a Mac in a while but it seems like your terminal might be in /home not /desktop. You can always use the "pwd" command to check the full path to your current location. But if you are in the directory of test.scss AND sass -v works. Then I'm not sure.
