I can't get ruby running and i dont want to go through all the hurdles of fighting with my osx version of ruby.
I downloaded dart sass which has no support for compass since it's deprecated. I'm trying to get my old sass code to work while I work on replace all my mixin that I used that rely on compass.
Is there a way I can download the compass/css3 mixin stylesheet?
I found their site http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/css3/ other than going through each page and copying all the code. Is there no master code file that I can download all the mixins?
Thank you.

Why do I need to install so much just to use Susy or about any sass framework?
I got really interested in using sass and sass frameworks but I can't figure out a right way to start using it. I don't get why I need to have so much installed to use just one thing. Also, I have never installed something through some sort of terminal so this freaks my out immensely, why can't I just download a zip file.
If know a useful tutorial on where to start, that would also help.
thanks in advance
Your Mac already comes with a version of Ruby (with Sierra even a recent enough version). Unless you are actively develping on different versions of Ruby, you don't need to install a custom Ruby (or even a ruby version manager).
You probably still need a compiler. Here, the xcode command line tools are sufficient. You can install them with xcode-select --install.
Generally, all these tools are comand-line oriented. It will help you tremendously if you try to get at least a high-level understanding of how the command line works and how you can use it with your tools. This will also help you when it comes to deploy your solution to a live-server, often running Linux with just the command line.
Compass is not required for Susy. In fact, Compass is no longer maintained, so I highly recommend against using it. Susy only requires Sass, but you can use any flavor of Sass - Libsass, Ruby Sass, Node Sass, Gulp Sass, etc. If it compiles Sass, it will work with Susy. There are instructions for various setups in the Susy docs.
Susy also doesn't require command-line knowledge itself, though Sass is often compiled that way. There are tools that provide GUI wrappers for Sass, if you aren't comfortable in the command line. I think CodeKit ships with Susy included.
I am new to SASS. I am using this as a guide to learn Bourbon -
http://www.git-tower.com/learn/bourbon-neat-bitters/getting-ready/introduction
I followed all the instructions and it displays fine on my local machine. But when I edit _layout.scss, it doesn't compile to styles.css. I installed Compass and had it watch the project folder, but same results. My changes won't take.
Am I missing a step?
This is likely more of a sass importing/file-name issue than anything specifically with bourbon. I'd check out http://sass-lang.com/guide . Sass-lang put together a really nice guide to sass that includes things like imports, etc.
Also, Compass app can bring some things to the party that can conflict with Bourbon. I'd recommend using the sass app or a desktop app like https://prepros.io which can be easier starting out.
Hope this helps 🍻
I want to use this MQ Mixin, but I'm getting an error when trying to compile this mixin:
Warning: C:/xxxxx/mq:13: error: error reading values after mobile
I'm using Grunt with grunt-sass plugin to compile my sass. My first thought was that I am using the old version of grunt-sass that does not support sass maps, and I was partially right because I was using the older version. Quick update to the latest version (at the moment - 0.14.0) and nothing, still getting same error. Also I checked if the error occurs with ruby-sass (v.3.3.14) but does't, file compiles properly. So, what's going on with grunt-sass? What am I missing here? Thanks in advance.
As cimmanon mentioned, grunt-sass is using libsass, which is far behind on features. You should use grunt-contrib-sass instead, which compiles using Ruby sass. You will need Ruby and the sass gem installed for it to work.
I recently bought Hammer for Mac.
I am making a static site, and want to use Bourbon + Neat, Bitters and Refills to style the page.
If I am correct, Bourbon is already included in Hammer, but Neat, Bitters and Refills aren't?
At the Hammer for Mac homepage, it says the following about installing Neat:
"If you're using the fantastic Bourbon Neat framework with Hammer, you'll need to download the Neat code from the Neat GitHub repository. The SCSS files for Neat are located inside the app/assets/stylesheets directory.
To use Neat in your project, simply copy the contents of app/assets/stylesheets into a folder in your project. Then just use #import "neat"; in your SCSS or Sass files to use Neat."....
Which I did. I took it as the same needed to be done to include Bitters and Refills.
I then try to use the #import "neat"; commands in my main.scss, but the build always fail.
Any idea on how to get this to work?
Thanks!
It's probably because Hammer for Mac uses a lower Sass version that's required to properly build Neat:
https://github.com/thoughtbot/neat/issues/174
(In other words, download Neat 1.5.1)
Just starting out with SASS and Compass.
I've been using a Mac App called CodeKit to compile and manage my Sass and Compass.
If I wanted to use a set of Sass Partials on multiple projects and ideally store these in a central location (for example my dropbox) is this possible?
Codekit has a really nice feature called Frameworks that lets you do this but this doesn't work once you start to use Compass as Compass is a framework in its own right.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Create a Compass extension and import it into your config.rbs.
