Compiling Sass Command Line Mac OS X
I am new to Sass. I believe it is installed correctly on my Mac as when typed the command
sass -v, I received the proper response back at the command line, Sass 3.2.12 (Media Mark).
I have changed the permissions in /Library/Ruby/Gems/ to be read/write.
When I try to compile my scss file with the update command, all I get back in the terminal services window is a response confirming the directory name:
Example:
~/Desktop/LessSass/CH4>sas
Here is the response
-bash: /Users/myname/Desktop/Less
My Library/Ruby/Gems.2.0 folder and my LessSass folder have write enabled on them, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am not getting any errors back. I can't seem to get the files to compile at the command line.
Thank you.

I could see your command line was wrong. That's why I suggested you split it to be sure all was ok.
If you want I can correct the command too but you should allocate points for the answer not close it yourself as you didn't provide a solution.

Thank you I meant to assign the points. I am fumbling up just about everything today.
No sweat. It happens.
In terms of the original command ...
The above line will run the two commands one after another
cd ~/Desktop/LessSass/CH4 - changes the directory to CH4
sass --update var_styles.scss - executes the sass compiler
cd ~/Desktop/LessSass/CH4 && sass --update var_styles.scss The above line will run the two commands one after another
cd ~/Desktop/LessSass/CH4 - changes the directory to CH4
sass --update var_styles.scss - executes the sass compiler
