				Installing node-gyp on Arch is torture. The only OS node-gyp actually supports is Debian.

				use this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass

				@lorentz why not make a debian vm and run that stuff on there?
 
 I split my projects into vms so i don't need to deal with whatever bullshit one OS has over the other.
