Install and then what?!

[vdGeld]

Just installed it through the extension manager but what am I supposed to do next? It's not compiling my files on save and the readme.md over here isn't really telling me which steps to take either.

As an example, you can download the project using Bourbon

@Edwingi were you able to try the example project yet? Also, I pushed an update today that fixes a major bug on mac. Please try the latest 1.0.4-83.

The README.md here isn't helpful at all (sorry for that).. could you create a more detailed or step-by-step instructions on HOW TO ACTUALLY USE your extension?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally new to SASS or Brackets, but here is my situation why I got here: -I'm following a strict company policy that won't allow me to install Ruby or any SASS compiler, so I want an independent SASS compiler extension for Brackets that would allow me to use and compile SASS.

I saw your example "project using Bourbon", but that didn't help me either. It defeats the purpose of using this extension because it requires me to install something else, which I can't given my current situation.

So, if this extension isn't a standalone SASS compiler, then I'm screwed.. lol

@byrne-asi You just install it on brackets, write something on sass and it compiles on a file with the same name in the same folder but with .css (unless you change this with the config with json - the example is on readme.md). The css is the one you link on your html, make your changes on the sass file and it updates by itself.

Bourbon is optional, a framework for sass like many others.

Make sure you have the last version of brackets and this extension.

I'm totally new to sass too, my base was the official site http://sass-lang.com/guide it helped me a lot.

@byrne-asi the example project https://github.com/jasonsanjose/bourbon-example is all ready to go, no additional setup required. The (https://github.com/jasonsanjose/bourbon-example#initial-setup)[initial setup] you refer to is only there if you need to recreate a similar project on your own.

As @Turqueso said, the idea is that you valid SASS will compile and create a .css file in the same folder with zero configuration. If you need anything more advanced, then you'll need to try the preferences https://github.com/jasonsanjose/brackets-sass#preferences.

I'm a little confused since you mention you can't install "ruby or any SASS compiler". This extension does contain libsass, a SASS compiler.

Sorry for the confusion guys, I didn't explain myself properly.

@Turqueso yes I'm well aware about the compiling thing and the auto-update on the css if you edit on your sass files. I also followed everything on the README.md

@jasonsanjose what I mean is that I don't want to install anything other than an extension for brackets. And I can see that this extension is exactly what I'm looking for. But it's weird since I already followed everything on the README and it's still not compiling. I already tried the bourbon example project but it isn't compiling either. I noticed my sass file is producing an error on the bottom panel: "Runtime error: timeout" -what does this mean? The other day it was producing a different error: "Runtime error: Max connection attempts reached"

By the way I'm using a portable version of Brackets (version is 1.1 build 1.1.0-15558), perhaps this might be the cause?
