I am trying to use compass with Drupal 7, Basic theme and Compass module on my local hosting on Windows. It is already installed on my computer. Should i install it to my local webserver again, how can i know the path of existing Compass exutable?
Some more details would help get to the root of the problem:
Are you running compass from the command line, or using a GUI utility?
Did you install compass via gem install compass ?
What version of Windows are you running?
If you have properly installed ruby and compass, you should be able to cd into your drupal theme's directory and run compass watch to compile.
You can use the where command from the windows command prompt (where compass or, if that doesn't work where ruby) which will search your current directory and $PATH. If you cannot find compass, then you may need to reinstall compass/ruby.
Hope that helps!

So i have this IPv6 thingy issue where i can't access rubygems and connection times out before it gets to use IPv4. One way or another i managed to install rubygems and when i type -v it all checks out. Now i need Jekyll and Jekyll-paginate-v2. I tried gem install jekyll and it didn't work for reasons stated above. Strangely enough i was able to install Jekyll via sudo apt install jekyll. Tried that with jekyll-paginate-v2 but there's no such option. So is there any way to install it without using gem command?
ok so i found a way of solving this issue.
to install a gem you need a .gem file and since you can't access rubygems.org we will get it from github. just go to your gem's github page, download it and then open bash in that directory, type gem build gemname.gemspec and it will create a .gem file in this directory. after that just use gem install --local gemname.gem and that's it.
I have a Grunt setup on my machine that's running SASS, Compass, Watch, Uglify... that kind of stuff. I've installed it using the command line (npm install...) from a tutorial.
I want to create a Grunt folder for another project. Is it okay to just copy that first folder and change the names? Is there some reason I should install the new one from the command line as well?
it will depends on what context you installed if was local or globally (-g).
If you installed locally without -g option, you are find to copy and past the folders.
However, would be a great practice to reuse only the package.json file and run the command, for your next project:
$ npm install
I'm going through the Sass tutorial and am stuck at this part:
Once you have Ruby installed, you can install Sass by running
gem install sass
So I opened up command prompt and typed in
gem install sass
Just like it said. It doesn't work though. I get this message back:
'gem' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have almost no knowledge of command line but wish to use Sass. Can someone please walk me through what I'm doing wrong?
Yes I did searches for tutorials for people who don't know command line. I only came up with a Mac guide, which does me no good since I'm on Windows 8, and a program that my company has blocked access to.
This just means the gem executable is not in your %path%. You can either run the ruby installer again and select the check box during the install for "Include ruby in path" (or some similar message) or just add the path (something like C:\Ruby200) to your system %path% variable.
Use Ruby Installer for Windows to install Ruby. After that you'll be able to do gem install sass.
Also, i recommend you get familiar with Compass as soon as possible. Compass is a very ambiguous thing for newcomers, so here's an explaination for you: Import common modules by default when compiling SCSS
And here's a great source of information for SASS newbies: https://github.com/Snugug/training-glossary/wiki
I'm trying to package compass/sass into a self-contained jar so that I can use compass without installing jruby.
I installed jruby and warbler on a Windows7 machine, running Java 1.6.0_37
I created a folder, named it jrcompass, then installed compass into it, i.e.
jruby -S gem install compass -i .
then I ran in it:
jruby -S warble
which created a file named jrcompass.jar of about ~20MB in size. so far so good.
problem is that when I try to execute the jar I get an error message (below). it seemed from the error that jruby.home was not set, so I passed it as a property in the command line and that worked, but it defeats the purpose of having a self-contained jar.
if I try to pass . as jruby.home then I get an error that it can't find rubygems
any help would be appreciated. TIA.

Does anybody knows how to install SaSS in offline mode? Can't find the right "gem" file.
