Re: [IBMiOSS] node-sass on the IBM i

A simple 'npm install node-sass' worked fine for me on the first try (IBM
i 7.3 with node 12). You'll need to install compilers and things first.
The command (yum group install "Developer Tools") will get you there with
some unnecessary stuff (you probably just need gcc, libstdcplusplus-devel,
gmake).

Did you try to build? If so, what were the failures?

I did see mention of this in the archives posted by John Yeung (

was back in Apr. of 2017.
It points to stackoverflow (

and I interpret this as at the time node-sass on the IBM i was not

possible.

I'm wondering if there have been any updates that now make installing

sass

on the IBM i possible.

I am on V7R3,
node v10.15.3

Thanks,
