Is it possible to use Devtools' Sass support with Scout? - sass

I'm using Scout as SASS compiler. I would like to know if there's a way to configure Scout to work with DevTools Sass support.(Auto reload css upon save). I assume installing Scout should install Compass and SASS in my machine. When I tried 'compass' in the terminal, I get 'compass: command not found'.
Do I have to install sass separately for this to work?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the response guys. It seems like the version of SASS ScoutApp is using doesnt have source map support. According to this article, you need Sass 3.3.

How to use SassC on OSX

I have used sass before and it's great. But Slow. And ruby Sass is being dropped.
I'd like to swtich to a wrapper around libsass. I think that is the accepted upgrade path.
How do I do this? I've tried installing SassC via homebrew, but it doesn't seem to work the same way.
eg
sassc --watch scss:css --style compressed
fails with error, unrecognized option `--watch'
What do I need to do to get sass compilation working in the terminal using libsass?
There was a discussion in the issue section of this project. It is not implemented and nobody was working on it according to this thread. But several workarounds were posted (e.g. using fswatch or node-sass). One suggestion was to use gosass which looks quite young but supports your -watch option.
Maybe this is something for you. If not you will find probably a lot of wrappers for libsass out there.

Can you download the compass/css3 file?

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.

Do i need to install xcode to install homebrew to install RUBY to install COMPASS to use SUSY?

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.

Grunt-sass can't compile sass maps?

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.

Compass File Location Best Practice

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.
