Sass requirements
- [Presenter] Browsers do not understand Sass directly. So you need to use a set of tools to convert Sass to CSS. Now that's pretty common in web development. So let's go over what you'll need for a typical setup. Most developers use NPM, the node package manager which is part of a utility called node JS. It lets you install modules, which are like utilities that add functionality to your project. You're going to need version 12 or larger of this. And you can get that at this URL right here. You're also going to need to have, git installed which you can get at this URL as well as a GitHub account. If you're in a PC, when you install git you may want to all also install git bash which is a shell that lets you run Linux commands. You'll also need a terminal application. If you're on a PC, you can use git bash which you should have installed with git or on a Mac, the Mac terminal. I often use hyper, which you can get from this URL. You'll also need a build tool. This is what will process your Sass into CSS. I use Vite which you can get from this URL. Of course you'll need a code editor. I use visuals to code and we'll be doing that for this project. You can get that from this URL. Finally, you're going to need Sass itself. Now this is going to install as a node module. You can find out more about Sass at this URL. If you're comfortable with those requirements then let's keep going.
