#How to set up gedit with automatic LESS CSS compiling
##Install the compiler
Install the command line LESS compiler. For example in Ubuntu use sudo apt-get install node-less
. Alternatively you can install it using the Node Package Manager sudo atp-get install npm
and then npm install -g less
for the guaranteed newest version.
Now you are able to compile LESS files using lessc my_less_file.less my_css_file.css
but this really sucks if you are setting up the CSS for a new website and have to compile it frequently.
Fortunately there is gedit; the lightweight text editor of your choice ;-)
