node-sass installation issue

Question

When I try to install node-sass using npm, I get the following error message:

Cannot download \"https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v3

Answer 1

You have an error on your command:

$ npm install node-sass --save-dev-
                                 ^^^

Should be

$ npm install node-sass --save-dev

(without the last - on dev)

Also, it is giving you a WARNING because it wants to be installed globally.

See the official node-sass documentation.

And also, could be interesting for you to know the differences between --save and --save-dev.
