What to do if the Koala compiler does not start on WinXP?

Question

Windows

You need to compile Less, maybe there are other compilers? But so that you can immediately view the result.

Answer 1

Koala is very capricious about the path of the user folder - so that only the Latin alphabet.
You can try scout.app - it's basically the same. Well, or switch to gulp.

Answer 2

You can run Less in a browser.

<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="styles.less" />
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/less.js/3.9.0/less.min.js" ></script>

Or try to install the old NodeJS - https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.12.0/
and off. compiler

npm install -g less
> lessc styles.less styles.css
