Error trying to compile foundation.scss

[noxxviii]

How can this bug be reproduced?

1. Install Prepros/Or Install SASS and Node 4.4.3 LTS on a MacBook Pro (El Capitan)
2. Try to compile foundation.scss via Prepros/Or open Terminal cd -> run npm install -> run npm build
3. Get Error

What did you expect to happen?

No error

What happened instead?

I get this Error Message

gulp-notify: [Sass Error] assets/scss/global/_settings.scss
Error: File to import not found or unreadable: ../../components/foundation-sites/scss/util/util
       Parent style sheet: /Users/akira/Desktop/FoundationPress-master/assets/scss/global/_settings.scss
        on line 43 of assets/scss/global/_settings.scss
>> @import '../../components/foundation-sites/scss/util/util';

Tested it on two MacBooks independently and am really Stuck, I don't know if it's an error with Foundationpress or possibly my fault.

What version of node are you using? You can type node -v in your terminal to reveal your version number. Which errors did you get when running npm install ?

[noxxviii]

I get no Errors when using npm install and npm -v says 2.15.1 and thanks for the quick response

[colin-marshall]

Does the assets/components/foundation-sites directory exist?

[colin-marshall]

Also is 2.15.1 the npm version or the node version?

[noxxviii]

Sorry about the confusement:

node -v is v4.4.3
npm -v is 2.15.1

after trying over and over it does work at last with the Terminal but Prepos still exits with errors, but I can't recreate the Error using the Terminal anymore nor do I know why it occured, the named directory did exist (and was readable/writable).

I'm showing the same error as noxxviii. I'm not sure what is wrong. I have followed tutorials and all with no luck.

error scss/global/_settings.scss (Line 43: File to import not found or unreadable: ../../components/foundation-sites/scss/util/util.

[colin-marshall]

@mikemontes does the directory assets/components/foundation-sites exist?

[mikemontes]

It didn't.

I fixed it however using the node.js install process instead of the team tree house tutorial. This is what I used if anyone runs into the same issue. https://foundationpress.olefredrik.com/posts/tutorials/foundationpress-for-beginners

[colin-marshall]

Ahhh I see. Can you link me to the FoundationPress Treehouse tutorial you were using? I am guessing it was older and used v1.

If you want to use the older version to follow along, you can do the following:

git clone -b foundation-5 https://github.com/olefredrik/FoundationPress.git

@noxxviii / I found that my HomeBrew had updated my node software to version 7.x.x which is already known to cause issues. Therefore did a downgrade to 4.4.2 following these steps:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.4.2
