lessc: command not found

I'm on OS X.8 and a newbie at Node & LESS. I thought I installed lessc earlier and when I go to /usr/local/bin I see lessc

but for the life of me, I can't run it. Anytime I do run it, I see -bash: lessc: command not found

So I've tried the tip here which has the following:

ln -s ~/.npm/less/1.3.3/package/bin/lessc my/local/dir

My local dir happens to be on a second drive on my laptop, here's the path: /Volumes/Mac17/Users/denis2/Sites/staging/assets/less

With all that said, I try and run:

lessc boostrap.less

and still get

-bash: lessc: command not found

I'm totally lost here and any help would be tremendous.

Just follow the steps :

Make lessc executable by your user(permission denied means you dont have permission to run) like chmod 755 lessc
Export the location of lessc into the PATH like export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/folder/path/less/bin (where lessc is present)
Use lessc lessc boostrap.less

You should put PATH export in environment so that you dont have to do it every time you login See here : Setting environment variables in OS X?

If you enter just lessc, it is searched in the $PATH. For security reasons, the current directory is not in the $PATH. Try

./lessc bootstrap.less

or, if that doesn't work, simply

~/.npm/less/1.3.3/package/bin/lessc bootstrap.less

If you get a Permission Denied error then, you may need to mark the file as executable. Use

chmod a+x ~/.npm/less/1.3.3/package/bin/lessc

to do that. You may also need to call node directly, if it isn't in your $PATH.
