SASS install Problem

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to install SASS on Fedora but it shows an error

ruby -v ruby 2.4.1p111 (2017-03-22 revision 58053) [x86_64-linux] gem -v 2.6.13 I tired sudo gem install sass --no-user-install

It returns

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

@srsandy I was facing the same problem today. I was able to get the gem installed using the following.

sudo dnf install rubygem-sass
