If none of these apps work for you, here are some other ones to try out: With a little bit of setup, Compass.app can support LiveReload (through Guard-Livereload and browser extensions). If you would rather something that is more cross-OS compatible, Compass.app is your next-best choice. If you are developing on a Mac, this is the app for you. Out of the box, CodeKit has support for popular front-end development tools such as SASS, Compass, Bourbon, CoffeeScript, Image Optimization (lossless compression), LiveReload and so much more. If the price tag scares you, don’t worry, CodeKit comes with a 10 day free trial where you can decide for yourself whether it’s worth it. Hands down, CodeKit is the best program available available for SASS and so much more. For those who don’t like to do things through the command line, you’re in luck! There are plenty of programs available across all platforms that will get the job done much more efficiently (and automatically).
#Compass codekit install
If you are a die-hard command line lover (and you have ruby installed) simply type in gem install sass. Don’t worry, to use SASS you do not need to know ruby, that is simply the code that the compiler is written in. A Gem is a library of code that extends the Ruby language adding new functionality. Technically speaking, SASS is a Ruby Gem. SASS is considered a superset of CSS (similar to how C++ is a superset of the C language) which means that any valid CSS is also valid SASS. With SASS you can use features that CSS doesn’t have yet, like variables, nesting and mixins that make building complex stylesheets easy and efficient. Once a SASS file is saved it is then compiled to plain CSS so long as the compiler is installed and ran. Unlike typical stylesheets, SASS files is not directly readable by web browsers (yet), but it is much developer friendly. SASS (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets) is the web’s most popular CSS preprocessing framework.
