# lesswatch

Watches LESS files, and automatically compiles them when they
are changed.

## Usage

$ lesswatch <DIR>

## Installation

pip install lesswatch

or

git clone https://github.com/jkeyes/lesswatch.git
cd lesswatch
python setup.py install

## External Dependencies

lesswatch used the [lessc compiler](http://lesscss.org/#guide)
and it must be on the PATH.

First you need to download and install node.js. Download the latest
stable version of [node.js](http://nodejs.org/#download) and
extract the contents from the archive: `tar xf node-v0.4.12.tar.gz`.

Then:

$ cd node-v0.4.12
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Then you need to install LESS:

$ npm install -g less

Try `lessc` to see if this was successful:

$ which lessc
/usr/bin/lessc
$ echo "body { color: red; }" > test.less
$ lessc test.less
body {
color: red;
}
