node-sass installation script (Linux/Mac)

node-sass installation test.sh

mkdir ~/temp1
cd ~/temp1

# diagnostic information
npm -v              
node -v
node -p process.versions
node -p process.platform
node -p process.arch

# installation
npm install node-sass

# if installed successfully
./node_modules/.bin/node-sass --version
# if version is < 3.0.0
node -p "console.log(require('node-sass').info())"
# if version is > 3.0.0
node -p "console.log(require('node-sass').info)"

# else if it fails
cd node_modules/node-sass/vendor

# delete darwin-or-linux<something>\binding.node file and 
# download the appropriate file in that directory manually from:
# https://github.com/sass/node-sass-binaries/
#
# (for instance: https://github.com/sass/node-sass-binaries/tree/v2.1.1)

node -p "console.log(require('node-sass').info)"

# once this is done, delete ~/temp1
rm -r ~/temp1

mkdir /temp1 requires root access.... Suggest using something in the home directory instead.

@RobLoach, thanks. It's fixed.

@WebAzOps, node-sass is a node.js package that compiles Sass code to CSS using a native library called libsass.
