When you install Sass on the command line, you'll be able to run the sass
executable to compile .sass
and .scss
files to .css
files. For example:
sass source/stylesheets/index.scss build/stylesheets/index.css
First install Sass using one of the options below, then run sass --version
to be sure it installed correctly. If it did, this will include 1.25.0
. You can also run sass --help
for more information about the command-line interface.
Once it's all set up, go and play. If you're brand new to Sass we've set up some resources to help you learn pretty darn quick.
PATH
. That’s all—there are no external dependencies and nothing else you need to install. If you use Node.js, you can also install Sass using npm by running
npm install -g sassHowever, please note that this will install the pure JavaScript implementation of Sass, which runs somewhat slower than the other options listed here. But it has the same interface, so it’ll be easy to swap in another implementation later if you need a bit more speed!
If you use the Chocolatey package manager for Windows, you can install Dart Sass by running
choco install sass
If you use the Homebrew package manager for Mac OS X, you can install Dart Sass by running
brew install sass/sass/sass
There are a good many applications that will get you up and running with Sass in a few minutes for Mac, Windows, and Linux. You can download most of the applications for free but a few of them are paid apps (and totally worth it).
