Re: New to this, trying to install Compass

[Chris Eppstein]

Installing into your system location requires root access. To do something as root, you need to use the `sudo` command. This will prompt you for your password and then let your command succeed. So if you had typed `gem install compass` now you should type `sudo gem install compass`
