在优胜美地上安装SASS

Question

I'm struggling with an error in my command line while trying to install SASS.

I'm just following what SASS website recommend to type in the command line:

sudo gem install sass

and here is the error I got:

    My-MacBook-Pro:~ username$ gem install sass
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'sass' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Operation timed out - connect(2) (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
ERROR:  Possible alternatives: sass

Then when I try to test if it installed with command line:

sass -v

I got:

-bash: sass: command not found

I have a 2015 macbook pro with the latest OSX Yosemite.

Alternatively, how could I install SASS manually? I see it trying to download https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz .

Thanks in advance for your help!

That's probably because the servers serving gems are blocked in China (for whatever reason that is). An easier way to solve this would be:

1. Open a terminal
2. gem sources -r https://rubygems.org/
3. gem sources -a https://ruby.taobao.org/ (this is a mirror of rubygems.org)
4. gem update --system
5. sudo gem install sass

Done. Hope it helps.
