[blisst]

Hello, I am unable to install takana on Windows
node: 0.12.2
npm: 2.11.1
node-gyp: 2.0.1
I'm running the command as an administrator.

Error: [email protected] install: `node build.js`

error This is most likely a problem with the node-sass package,
error not with npm itself.

I looked around on node-sass repo on most issues were solved by updating node-sass. Is this an option for takana?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm having the same problem. I tried making my own branch, and updating node-sass dependency to ~3.2.0. He settled smoothly, but when I run the Takana command to watch live my sass I got nothing, simply do nothing. Any ideas?

I tried the same thing as taverasmisael (making my own branch and updating the node-sass dependency). Didn't work. Would love for this to get updated along with node-sass/libsass/etc.

FWIW I have it working on my machine with node version 0.12.7 (which I set using nvm)

Great tool by the way! On-keystroke css compilation is a must have for me for designing things in browser.

I submit a new pull request where i fix takana to work with node-sass 3.3.3
