Debugging and Compiling SASS/SCSS Files on macOS

In this section, we are going to be talking about some ways to setup, install, debug, and compile SASS on macOS

1. Make sure you have Brew installed on macOS

2. brew install sassc

3. Then you make sure that sassc does work by using this command: sassc

Debugging and Compiling SASS/SCSS Files on Windows

Caution

This part is not really stable

In this section, we are going to be talking about some ways to setup, install, debug, and compile SASS on Windows. On Windows the implementation of installing dependencies to get SASS to work may be different.

So here are the instructions on how to do it.

On Node.js implementation, here are the steps to install SASS.

1. Download the Node.js package for Windows from the Website

2. Make sure the node.js works by using CMD or Powershell

3. In the CMD or Powershell use this command: npm install -g sass

4. In the CMD or Powershell, use this command: sass to make sure it works properly.

Experimental Instructions

Important

These instructions may not be accurate yet. And this section, is subjected to change.

Experimenting Subjects on WSL

Caution

This part is not really stable

In this subsection, we are going to be talking about experimenting Subjects on WSL. This is experimental.

On WSL Ubuntu Setup

In this section, we are going to be talking about setting up dependencies for running Subjects and developing it on WSL Ubuntu.

Note

This talks about setting up dependencies for running Subjects and developing it on WSL Ubuntu.

Here is how to get started on that:

1. sudo apt update

2. sudo apt full-upgrade

3. sudo apt install neofetch

4. sudo apt install fish

5. sudo apt install micro

6. sudo apt install python-flask*

Common issues in Ubuntu WSL

Here are some common issues when using Ubuntu WSL

• When running Flask, the default loopback address that is set to is 127.0.0.1:5000 which DOES NOT go out of the container

Solution

Here are the solutions

1. In the index.py file, you need to change the IP address loopback from 127.0.0.1:5000 to 0.0.0.0. This is how you change it. By default, the loopback port number is 5000.

   if __name__ == '__main__':
     app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

Experimenting Subjects on Ubuntu Multipass

In this subsection, we are going to be talking about experimenting Subjects on Ubuntu Multipass. Ubuntu Multipass is useful if you are developing Subjects on macOS.

Here is how to get started on that:

1. brew install multipass
2. multipass launch
3. multipass shell <name>
4. sudo apt update
5. sudo apt upgrade
6. sudo apt install neofetch
7. sudo apt install python-flask*

Common issues in Multipass

Here are some common issues when using Multipass

• When running Flask, the default loopback address that is set to is 127.0.0.1:5000, which DOES NOT go out of the container

Solution

Here are the solutions

1. In the index.py file, you need to change the IP address loopback from 127.0.0.1:5000 to 0.0.0.0. This is how you change it. By default, the loopback port number is 5000.

   if __name__ == '__main__':
       app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

2. Then in the macOS side, in the terminal you need to use this command:

   multipass list 

3. Look the IP address of the container that you used and installed Subjects on to it, and then use this command:

   chromium --kiosk <ip_address>:5000
