When I follow the directions in the video I get an error message. Working on windows. Thanks

Hi there Steven,

Can you tell us what error it is you're getting so we can help you?

Common errors with Sass include unmatched files or referring a watch folder that doesn't contain your SCSS file. :-)

Also please post the code following the Markdown Cheatsheet link below.

You have installed Sass, but you have not told it to do anything. How do that depends a little on your structure. The easiest is if you have your .sass or .scss files in the same file you want your css. if so, then navigate to your folder containing the Sass and then enter the command: sass --watch

If the files are in different folders, then you go to the folder that is closest to containing both and enter:

sass --watch path/to/.scss/file:path/where/css/goes

I like to have comments in the css as to where it came from in the Sass, so I add a -l. I also always have a Sass folder and a CSS folder in the root of my project. So I navigate to the root folder and use this command:

sass --watch -l sass:css

I suggest rewatching the video on installing and using Sass.
