according to the site lesscss.org all I need to do is to write this line:
$ npm install less
inside my npm.
I went to the npm site: https://github.com/isaacs/npm
and downloaded the project - I didn't understand what do I need to do with it. installed node.js because somewhere it was written to install it. none of this helped.
It clicked node.exe - it opened for me a console: I tries to write there:
$ npm install less
but that didnt do anything.
I am obviously missing something, can anyone tell me how do I work with node.js , npm , and how to get LESS parser on my server?
You need to run npm on a regular command line, not a node console.
… and don't write the $, that signifies the prompt, not something you should type.
