Foundation 5 SASS Install Error

I've followed the steps on the Getting Started with SASS page to install Foundation 5 and the required components.

I am now trying to install Foundation into a project folder, via Terminal (i.e. Foundation new myProject).

Terminal returns a long list of errors that I've pasted in below.

No idea what this issue could be -- any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to use the CLI to make a Foundation 5 project or use the ruby gems to start a Foundation 4 project?

Robert Montgomery over 4 years ago

Hi Wesley,

I spent days trying to sort this out.

In the end I went here 3 clicks of a button and your working on foundation SASS in your new project, job done.

very simple link: https://incident57.com/codekit/

Wesley Picotte over 4 years ago

Thanks. Yes, tried codekit but I'm also using Foundation with ModX. Codekit is just one more piece in the mix that I don't want to figure out!

In any case, the issue above was with the pre-1.9 version of Ruby on my PC -- i.e. total pilot error on my part. Fixed this and the install now goes as expected.
