  • Does this answer your question? [Grunt sass don't have ruby and sass installed?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24269242/grunt-sass-dont-have-ruby-and-sass-installed) – Silviu Burcea May 20 '20 at 12:55

Have you installed the xcode dev tools yet? Try this first:

xcode-select --install

And then install Sass:

sudo gem install sass

May for only install it, you can use -n option: sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin sass

But,i strongly recommends you to use a ruby manager, like RVM (https://rvm.io/rvm/install) supports MacOS, permits you to have multiple Ruby versions and keep all your gems organized by version.

I was getting the exact same error.

For me running sudo npm install -g sass resolved the issue.
