when I try the command: $ sass --watch scss:css -bash: /usr/bin/sass: No such file or directory
but when I ask: $ whereis sass sass: /usr/local/bin/sass

Sounds like it could be a path issue. What happens when you enter
```echo $PATH
on the command line? You might try adding it if it doesn't exist:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Then you'll want to enter
source .bashrc (or .bash_profile)
on the command line to update the file.
Best,
Cena

76 PointsThanks so much for answering this!
when I enter echo $PATH I get: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin
:(
I don't have much experience working in my console. The export PATH command will let me modify the path? Thanks, Kylen
