I’ve installed ruby and the sass gem on a Win 7 Enterprise box. I’ve had issues throughout the process, and had to download the gems and install them from local to avoid other issues.

gem install --local sass-3.1.19.gem

I’m trying sass --watch styles.sass:styles.css but I get the standard sass isn’t recognised error from the command line.

I’m really new to ruby so I could well have missed a step.

Thanks in advance

    In order to run commands without specifying full path, you need to have the path to the program in you PATH variable.

    So if your program is located in C:\Programs\rubygems\gem\sass you’ll need to add C:\Programs\rubygems\gem\ to PATH.

    The process of adding a folder to PATH for the Windows command line prompt is described here.

    For Windows Powershell, please check Setting Windows PowerShell path variable here on SO.
