Grunt need compass installed in system PATH Warning

bower, eclipse, gruntjs, node.js, yeoman

Solution

The warning seems to say it all.

If you're on OS X or Linux you probably already have Ruby installed; test with `ruby -v` in your terminal. When you've confirmed you have Ruby installed, run `gem update --system && gem install compass` to install Compass and Sass.

If that doesn't help, then install the `grunt-contrib-compass` package with the instructions at https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compass

Problem

I want to install Yeoman, Grunt and bower to my node project. I made a node project in Eclipse (using the nodeclipse plugin) and navigated to the project folder (which is H:\Eclipse Workspace\YoTest) in cmd and typed in: ``` npm install yo -g npm install generator-webapp -g yo webapp ``` selected: Sass (with compass), in cmd And then typed: ``` grunt serve ``` to run the webapp. I get the following error message: ``` Done, without errors. Warning: Running "compass:server" (compass) task Warnin: You need to have Ruby and Compass installed and in your system PATH for this task to work. More info: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compass Use --force to continue. Aborted due to warnings. Use --force to continue. Aborted due to warnings. ``` How do I fix this so that I can run my node project with grunt? PS: I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the problem, but I also get the following errors on line 1-27 in my package.json: ``` Multiple markers at this line - strings must use singlequote - strings must use singlequote ``` This is my package.json ``` { "name": "yotest2", "version": "0.0.0", "dependencies": {}, "devDependencies": { "grunt": "~0.4.1", "grunt-contrib-copy": "~0.4.1", "grunt-contrib-concat": "~0.3.0", "grunt-contrib-uglify": "~0.2.0", "grunt-contrib-compass": "~0.7.0", "grunt-contrib-jshint": "~0.7.0", "grunt-contrib-cssmin": "~0.7.0", "grunt-contrib-connect": "~0.5.0", "grunt-contrib-clean": "~0.5.0", "grunt-contrib-htmlmin": "~0.1.3", "grunt-bower-install": "~0.7.0", "grunt-contrib-imagemin": "~0.2.0", "grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.5.2", "grunt-rev": "~0.1.0", "grunt-autoprefixer": "~0.5.0", "grunt-usemin": "~2.0.0", "grunt-mocha": "~0.4.0", "grunt-modernizr": "~0.4.0", "grunt-newer": "~0.6.0", "grunt-svgmin": "~0.2.0", "grunt-concurrent": "~0.4.0", "load-grunt-tasks": "~0.2.0", "time-grunt": "~0.2.0", "jshint-stylish": "~0.1.3" }, "engines": { "node": ">=0.8.0" } } ``` I'm on Windows.
