In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Editor | Color Scheme | Less/Sass/SCSS. You can configure Less/Sass/SCSS-aware syntax highlighting according to your preferences and habits. Otherwise, type the path manually or click and choose the file location in the dialog that opens. If you followed the standard installation procedure with npm, PhpStorm locates the required files itself and fills in the field automatically.

In the Program field, specify the path to the compiler archive depending on the chosen predefined template. Depending on the tool you are going to use, choose the Less, Sass, or SCSS predefined template from the list. The File Watchers page that opens shows the list of already configured File Watchers.Д¬lick or press Alt+Insert. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, click File Watchers under Tools. However, in the Project Tree, they are shown under the source file which is now displayed as a node. The location of the generated files is defined in the Output paths to refresh field of the New Watcher dialog. The file has the name of the source Sass, Less, or SCSS file and the extension. PhpStorm creates a separate file with the generated output. If the Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher checkbox is cleared, the File Watcher is started upon save ( File | Save All, Ctrl+S) or when you move focus from PhpStorm (upon frame deactivation). If the Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher checkbox is selected, the File Watcher is invoked as soon as any changes are made to the source code. If an applicable File Watcher is configured and enabled in the current project, PhpStorm starts the compiler automatically upon the event specified in the New Watcher dialog. If such File Watcher is configured but disabled, PhpStorm displays a popup that informs you about the configured File Watcher and suggests to enable it. When you open a file, PhpStorm checks whether an applicable File Watcher is available in the current project.
