The first thing to do is to start the project which is done differently for each program, please refer to the programs documentation or installation instructions on how to do that. Now that you have SASS installed, its time to start coding. Prepros Pro ($24 – Mac & Windows, also a free version).LiveReload ($9.99 for Mac, Free for Windows but it’s an Alpha program).

If none of these apps work for you, here are some other ones to try out: With a little bit of setup, Compass.app can support LiveReload (through Guard-Livereload and browser extensions). If you would rather something that is more cross-OS compatible, Compass.app is your next-best choice. If you are developing on a Mac, this is the app for you. Out of the box, CodeKit has support for popular front-end development tools such as SASS, Compass, Bourbon, CoffeeScript, Image Optimization (lossless compression), LiveReload and so much more. If the price tag scares you, don’t worry, CodeKit comes with a 10 day free trial where you can decide for yourself whether it’s worth it. Hands down, CodeKit is the best program available available for SASS and so much more. For those who don’t like to do things through the command line, you’re in luck! There are plenty of programs available across all platforms that will get the job done much more efficiently (and automatically). If you are a die-hard command line lover (and you have ruby installed) simply type in gem install sass. Don’t worry, to use SASS you do not need to know ruby, that is simply the code that the compiler is written in. A Gem is a library of code that extends the Ruby language adding new functionality. Technically speaking, SASS is a Ruby Gem.
