Can't get stylesheets to build

[Boogonie]

I'm very new to Sass and Foundation, but very motivated to learn. I've succussfully installed FoundationPress (I think), but can't get the stylesheets to build using npm run build. I get the following error:

[22:26:37] Using gulpfile /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/allcards/wp-content/themes/FoundationPress/gulpfile.js

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

Hi @Boogonie ,

The stylesheets should build automatically when running npm run build. Did you get any errors on npm install? Seems like some of the foundation files are missing in your /components/foundation-sites folder.

[Boogonie]

No errors on the intsall, but I'm missing the /components/foundation-sites folder, so something obviously went wrong. I'll try installing again.

[Boogonie]

Just reinstalled. This is the only warning I receive: npm WARN cannot run in wd foundationpress@2.2.0 bower install && gulp build (wd=/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/allcards/wp-content/themes/FoundationPress)
colors@1.1.2 node_modules/colors

Still no foundation-sites folder.

That explains a lot. Can you check what version of Node.js and npm you're using? Type node -v and npm -v in your terminal.

[Boogonie]

node v4.2.3
npm v2.14.7

[olefredrik]

Hmm. Probably a permission error then. There is a workaround for this in this thread #596

[Boogonie]

It worked! The issue was with my use of sudo.

Many thanks!

Great! 👍
