less-css

[Rich Shepard]

The django-timepiece project requires a tool called 'less,' a css
preprocessor. However, on linux systems (if not also other unices)
/usr/bin/less is a pager with greater capabilities than more.

Is there a conflict between these two? Where would the css-less be
installed?

TIA,

Rich

There isn't a conflict between them, because the LESS compiler installs as "lessc" and also because you'll want to install it locally using npm rather than system-wide.

These links might be helpful to you:

Thanks, Aron. I assumed there'd be no conflict but appreciate the
confirmation. I saw less in the django-timepiece requirements file which
raised my question.

Will look at the last two URLs first; need to install requirements before
trying django-timepiece.
