CSS/Stylesheets - SASS

We are using sass syntax (the indented one) instead of scss for clarity.

Files are stored in app/styles.

We are using compass for its mixins and sprite compilation.

compass (which calls sass) is automatically invoked when running grunt tasks.

Optional tools

nvm node version manager

If you need to have multiple versions of node, nvm helps manage them. There are some known incompatibilities between phantomjs and node 0.10.0 at the time of this writing (2013.03.19).

To make sure everything works, install the 0.10.1 version (you can also use the older 0.8.x versions).

curl https://raw.github.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh

Set 0.10.1 as the default node:

nvm ls
nvm install 0.10.1
nvm use 0.10.1
nvm alias default 0.10.1
          (to set default version)
