title: Is it better to use the Live Sass Compiler (VS Code extension) or to install and run Sass via npm? (+ tips how to change from node-sass to dart-sass)
body: <p>I am doing an online course on Advanced CSS and Sass and found out that the way it is shown in the course is a bit outdated.</p>
  <p>The course uses node-sass in the dependencies, which is deprecated. A direct alternative to this would be to use Dart-sass (I will write my steps to do so in the end, maybe someone will benefit from this :))</p>
  <p>Another alternative is to use the VS Code Extension &quot;Live Sass Compiler&quot;. It seems that this option is quite well accepted.</p>
  <p>However, I wonder what benefits and differences these options have. E.g. I had some troubles with the extension yesterday and then used the dart sass as a dependency and solved my problem this way. Maybe this was due to something wrong in my code, but still, it left me with this question and I think others might have the same in the future.</p>

  <p>PS: It is my first question here, don't roast me if I did something wrong :D</p>
  <p>For those interested in how to change the code from node-sass to dart-sass here are the steps (at least for me these were the steps in the course I did):</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Install dart sass using the command line: <code>npm i -D sass</code></li>
  <li>Change your scripts where it says <code>node-sass</code> to just be <code>sass</code> (in package.json)</li>
  <li>Change the <code>-w</code> in your <code>watch:sass</code> script to <code>--watch</code> (in package.json)</li>
  <li>You can also do <code>npm uninstall node-sass</code> to get rid of it</li>
  </ol>
