2,908 PointsUsing Sass in windows
I'm a little frustrated since trying to install and run sass, I have run into one difficulty after another.
I keep getting: Errno::EACCESS Permission Denied errors. I know sass is trying to make conversion, but it is one of many errors I have run into. I am working in Hampton Catlin's video and have downloaded the project files, when making changes in .scss file I get the error described above. I'm just trying to get through this. Does anyone know of a fix for this? The online blogs are more complicated and out of scope.

2,908 PointsOkay, for those with similar difficulties I have found that the link here: http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#referencing_parent_selectors_ provides generic input & output commands. I used cd Desktop in my terminal window, then ran command: sass main.scss main.css in terminal window.; I finally got sass to work. I automatically update css file when I put in changes and saved file.... I hope this may help someone in the same position !!!! ;~)

There are several apps that simplify the process of installing Sass. Choose an application from the sass-lang.com, Scout is a popular choice.
You can also use an online code playground such as codepen or sassmeister to write Sass online without installing anything.

2,908 PointsThanks James !! Didn't realize CodePen worked with Sass also.
