After I follow all of the steps change the directory it seems to be fine. Until I type in the sass --watch scss:css and hit enter. All I am getting is >>> Sass watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop. Below that a flashing cursor and unable to type anything more. Shows no error.

The way around this is you can open another tab on the command prompt, or another window, and set up your sass watch, and than in the second tab or window, cd back into the correct directory, and use that second one to enter new commands as you need to.

21,054 PointsAfter fixing the file extension I got the line showing the file for style.css and the style.c ss.map are created but I still am not able to go any further. Just a flashing cursor just below the text.
