i'm having trouble installing the bourbon neat gem in a rails project. When I follow the installation instructions below, it installs neat in c:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/neat-1.5.1 but it doesn't add a neat folder in the working directory of my rails project. So @import 'neat' doesn't work. Neat only works when I copy and paste the folder c:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/neat-1.5.1 into my working directory.

Installation steps for Ruby on Rails:

Add Neat to your Gemfile:

gem 'neat'

Then run:

bundle install

If you see the error Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "sass", run:

bundle update sass

Import Neat in your application.css.scss, after Bourbon:

@import "bourbon";
@import "neat";

See installation steps at https://github.com/thoughtbot/neat#installation

You are missing step 3:

  1. Install the Neat library into the current directory:

    bourbon install # if not already installed

    neat install

  • thanks for the info.. that seems to work. i guess what was confusing me was that step 3 is part of the non-rails install directions. – amsterdamAL Dec 25 '14 at 19:10

Yeah.. from what I gathered from the Rails install instructions as well was that the Gem is all that's required. Adding the Neat and Bourbon folders in to the project seems counter-intuitive within Rails.
