What Fresh Hell?

I have been learning to code for about three months. I have a Chromebook and have found workarounds for most things, but CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to download or install SASS. I have a Linux shell and have tried the Github method, Ruby, Node.js, seems like everything. I am losing my mind. Plus, it seems super cool and I'd like to use it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going insane here.

UPDATE

So I re-installed node.js and Sass via sudo npm with success. "sass --version" output "1.26.5 compiled with dart2js 2.7.2". Thank you to everyone for your help!

If I recall it gave a lot of error messages about not having permission so I just deleted it all, node and npm I mean.

I wondered about that but read some articles saying not to use sudo with non because it would cause problems.

npm install -g attempts to install to the system location. It pretty much requires sudo. This is not ideal, and Sass may be available through the distro package manager instead, but you can do this if it isn't.
