Rails 2.3 Users:

You can install Compass/Sass into a new or existing rails app using our official rails application template:
$ rails <myrailsappnamehere> -m http://compass-style.org/rails/installer

for existing application, use the application template rake task:
$ rake rails:template LOCATION=http://compass-style.org/rails/installer

You can also set the environment variable NO_SUDO to true to disable sudo usage in the script
$ rake rails:template LOCATION=http://compass-style.org/rails/installer NO_SUDO=true

If you have an existing application, and are already using Haml, and don’t want to use the application template (which tries to install Haml for you), you can manually use the command that the ‘rake rails:template’ task uses:
$ compass --rails -f blueprint . --css-dir=public/stylesheets/compiled --sass-dir=app/stylesheets
