Bit late, but it's probably easier to use just sassc (the standard SCSS compiler from the libsass project) rather than node-sass if you don't need node otherwise (for webpack or whatever) in your build pipeline. Node-sass as a native linked requires gyp, hence python, node, and a couple npm packages which add to your footprint considerably.
