To use node-sass, you first need the node package manager (npm) installed on your computer. To download it, just click this link.

Once you have npm installed, follow the steps below to set up your project folder.

Step One

Initilize your project folder:

npm init

Install node-sass:

npm install node-sass

Step Two

In the package.json file, replace the scripts element with this:

 
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"compile-scss": "node-sass scss-folder -o css-folder",
"compile-scss-continuously": "node-sass -w scss-folder -o css-folder"
},
								 

Step Three

Create a folder called scss-folder. Then, create a .scss file and write some Sass code in it. Here's some sample code:

$primary-color: red;

p {
color: $primary-color;
}

Step Four

Open up the terminal and run the command:

npm run compile-scss

If you want to run the command continuously in the background, use this:

npm run compile-scss-continuously

Step 5

After completing step 4, you should see a folder named "css-folder" that holds the relevant CSS files. If you used the sampe code above in your Sass file, the output should look like this:

 p { color: red; }
