define sass version to install when installing compass

Question

Is there a way to define the sass version to install when installing compass with gem install compass ?

Specifying -v would only specify the compass version and not the version of its dependencies..

Answer 1

Install Sass first, using the --version / -v flag to specify the version you like. Then install compass afterward, using the --minimal-deps so that it does not also upgrade the Sass gem as a part of installing compass.

gem install sass --version VERSION
gem install compass --minimal-deps

Note that --minimal-deps will upgrade a dependency if the installed version does not meet the dependency requirements.
