I have been attempting to install Foundation 5 SASS on my LEMP server
for quite some time now, and have consistently been running into an
error with the thor gem. Attached you can see my first attempts at
installation, and below is my more recent attempt, where it is much more
obvious that thor failed (as I didn’t get nearly as far).

As you can see, it first flared up at the install of foundation, but I
was able to move on by adding sudo. However, when I attempted to install
compass, it crashed once again.
Should I be using the LEMP 1-click install from Digital Ocean, or could
this be causing some of the errors?
I have posted on Stack Overflow and the Foundation forum, and have so
far not gotten any farther. Please let me know if I need to include any
other information!
Thanks!
