Can I use sass instead of node-sass in suiteCommerce project?

Question

I am using mac system.

chip : apple M2
macOS : Ventura 13.4 

i was trying to install suiteCommerce Theme Developer Tool, but ran into following problem

when i was trying to install node-sass v7.0.0, npm is trying to install package from following url location :
https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v7.0.0/darwin-arm64-83_binding.node

you can see that in image i have attached, its hitting url that does not exist hence 404 code.
but url for v7.0.0 (drwin-arm64-83) has changed to following location :
https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v7.0.0/darwin-x64-83_binding.node

reference:
https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/tag/v7.0.0

this issue has already been raised to node-sass team

Question is that can i install sass instead of node-sass in my Theme Developer Tool ?

Answer 1

Use node, say 20.10. Run npm install. Then npm uninstall node-sass. Then npm install node-sass. It'll install the version 9.0.0 and you'll be able to run gulp commands.
