Would it be possible to install Sass?

Thanks in advance, DatRoyce

Great! How did you get it working?

For anyone else that stumbles across this issue. You can set the location of gem installs using the GEM_HOME environment variable.

export GEM_HOME=~/gems/

You can then run

gem install sass

This will install sass into ~/gems. The full location of the executable is ~/gems/gems/sass-3.4.22/bin/sass.

I get: 

bash: sass: command not found

Because the path to the executable is not on your Bash PATH. Add the /gems/gems/sass-3.4.22/bin/ path to your PATH in your .bashrc and it will be able to find it. Or just call the sass executable with the full path.

This was helpful, but I had one more step I needed. In order for the web app to run sass upon deploy, you need to append your gem path to the PATH variable like this: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/environment-variables-for-web-apps/
