SCSS-compiler alternatives to LibSass for a node app [closed]

Question

Libsass seems to be one of the most popular compilers for SCSS and http://sass-lang.com/libsass lists a wide variety of libsass wrappers for many common programming languages. For a node-app, node-sass and the corresponding loaders for webpack or gulp seem to be the most obvious choice. Installing and using node-sass however requires both github access and a python 2.7 interpreter and for reasons I don't want to discuss here, I have neither in my production environment.

1. Is there a viable workaround for installing and using node-sass in production environments without github access and python interpreter?
2. Are there other SCSS - compilers which can be used via webpack or gulp that don't need Github access and/or an installed python interpreter?

Answer 1

While similar to the answer provided by @tsi, I would suggest your build occurs not on a dev machine, but rather a build box.

Some options include Gitlabs CI or Bitbucket pipelines

If you do run it on a dev machine, make sure to do it within Vagrant or Docker to create consistent artifacts.

To answer your second question, no, there doesn't seem to be an alternative

Answer 2

Unless your app must compile Sass on-the-fly, You should probably compile your styles on the dev machine and push static CSS to your production environment.
