Issues running Makefile for Bootstrap

[martinbean]

I'm having troubles running the Makefile for Bootstrap. When I do so, I get the following output:

rm docs/assets/bootstrap.zip
zip -r docs/assets/bootstrap.zip bootstrap
  adding: bootstrap/ (stored 0%)
  adding: bootstrap/css/ (stored 0%)
  adding: bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css (stored 0%)
  adding: bootstrap/img/ (stored 0%)
  adding: bootstrap/img/glyphicons-halflings-white.png (deflated 4%)
  adding: bootstrap/img/glyphicons-halflings.png (deflated 4%)
  adding: bootstrap/js/ (stored 0%)
rm -r bootstrap
lessc ./less/bootstrap.less > ./docs/assets/css/bootstrap.css
/bin/sh: lessc: command not found
make: *** [docs] Error 127

However, if in Terminal I just type lessc I get a line saying, lessc: no input files.

Why when trying to run lessc as part of Bootstrap's Makefile is it falling over?

how did you install less? You should do npm install lessc -g This should definitely get that line working.

also you could try lessc ./less/bootstrap.less > ./docs/assets/css/bootstrap.css

I get the following output when trying to run npm install lessc -g:

Try running this instead.

npm install less -g

I also needed to install uglifyjs.

npm install uglify-js -g

Hope that helps.

It seems to have worked; no errors when I run make. Thanks, @col!

Just wanted to note this is still working as a solution. Thanks @col

I've installed recess, less, lessc, uglify, node.js all properly with no errors, as sudo.

I still get: /bin/sh: ./node_modules/.bin/recess: not found

@Tyguy7: You want #6561; #6576 probably fixes it.
