Our last post on getting less css doesn’t work any more for installing less css on 10.10, due to changes in rubygems and ubuntu/debian, so here’s some updated instructions that work again!

sudo apt-get install rubygems1.8 ruby1.8-dev
sudo gem install rubygems-update
sudo gem update rubygems
sudo gem install less

And also remember that you have to either have your gems binaries in your path or symlink the lessc into somewhere that’s in your path, eg. like this


sudo ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/lessc /usr/bin/
