Issues getting SASS to compile

[cruelmelody]

Hey there,

I'm trying to get this framework up and running because it looks awesome and I really want to use it, however, I can't for the life of me figure out why my SASS isn't compiling. What I've done:

1. npm install bulma
2. npm install bulma-start
3. cd to node_modules/bulma-start to run commands
4. JS seems to build ok in the watch command, but the SASS compiling throws errors.
5. Here's what happens when I try to run 'npm run css-deploy':

npm run css-deploy

[email protected] css-deploy /Users/mkemp/Sites/procurement-intranet/wp-content/themes/taronga-intranet/node_modules/bulma-start
npm run css-build && npm run css-postcss

[email protected] css-build /Users/mkemp/Sites/procurement-intranet/wp-content/themes/taronga-intranet/node_modules/bulma-start
node-sass _sass/main.scss css/main.css

I checked the debug log and it doesn't really give much detail.
FYI I'm running npm v.5.6.0 and I've also tried running the command as sudo.

Any ideas? I'm adding my custom SASS to _sass/_main.scss as intended. I've been banging my head up against the wall with this one and I'm sure it's a simple fix.

Much appreciated!

Hey @cruelmelody, I'm also a beginner in Bulma and also stumbled with the same issue earlier today. Have you tried running npm install at the root directory? It solved my issue.

Hey @cruelmelody, check out the Get your feet wet section to see, if that clears things up sufficiently enough to get you started (again).

Thanks for the tip! I was in the wrong folder and my .css and .js kept getting compiled and placed into my .Trash directory lol. I appreciate it!
