Permission denied - sass/normalize.scss

When I download the zip file and try to compile using compass.app - I always getPermission denied - /Users/me/Desktop/bones-for-genesis-2-0-master/sass/normalize.scss and styles.css is not created

You'll have to initialize the submodules. I'd recommend cloning the repo (to preserve it as a repo), then try running git submodule foreach git pull origin master.

Hey - thanks for the reply :) - I tried that command and got this response:

Entering 'sass/normalize.scss'
From git://github.com/JohnAlbin/normalize.css-with-sass-or-compass

• branch master -> FETCH_HEAD
  Already up-to-date.

Then re-compiled and got the same error:

Permission denied - /Users/mymac/Desktop/bones-for-genesis-2-0/sass/normalize.scss

This exact sequence always works for me:

git clone https://github.com/cdukes/bones-for-genesis-2-0
cd bones-for-genesis-2-0
git submodule init
git submodule update
git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Does running that give you a full repo with submodule files included? If so, then I'd say the permissions issue is likely with your compiler. Have you tried command line SASS?

Yes - that sequence clones and updates - I was using the git client for mac... maybe I should rethink and use command line. I did some googling and ran this command in terminal after the above:

sass --watch /Users/mymac/Desktop/bones-for-genesis-2-0/sass:/Users/mymac/Desktop/bones-for-genesis-2-0/css

It gave this error

Errno::EISDIR: Is a directory - /Users/mymac/Desktop/bones-for-genesis-2-0/sass/normalize.scss
Use --trace for backtrace.

After more google searching I find this is a probably ruby error (ruby 2.0.0p247) as I am running mac OSX - looks like I need to do some researching on rvm and ruby to fix this.

Thanks for your time
