Can´t add less-compiler lessc on Netbeans 7.4

less, netbeans

Solution

I'm not sure if Less compiler can work without NodeJS. So I would do following:

- install NodeJS (nodejs.org)

install less compiler using npm

npm install -g less

then NetBeans should find it, if not, you need to specify path to lessc.cmd, e.g.

C:\Users\lada\AppData\Roaming\npm\lessc.cmd

to find where is your lessc.cmd, run following in command line

where lessc.cmd

The lessc (without cmd) is for Linux and Mac OSX

Problem

At first I downloaded Less from GitHub and saved the folder on my disk. After that, I tried to locate the compiler (file lessc) in my Netbeans IDE (7.4 Beta). After that, I got the following Error-Message:
