I love using Atom and I'm trying to get its autocompilers up and running.

The jade-autocompile (by ManRueda) works with no problems.

However, I can't get the sass-autocompile package (by armin-pfaeffle) to work. My problem comes with installing node-sass. This is what I get:

$ npm install node-sass -g

npm ERR!

Any suggestions? Thanks, SG.

    did you try running is a root - `sudo npm install -g node-sass` as when installing globally npm is trying to add the files to protected folders - `/usr/local/...` (The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally.) – Vasil Dininski Jun 22 '16 at 20:41
  • Of course, the sudo! – Sam Granger Jun 23 '16 at 14:28

Its complaining about permissions, so try this: "sudo npm install -g node-sass" and then it will ask for your password, enter, and should be able to install!
