How to configure a SCSS project?

I'm pretty new to SASS/SCSS and got a git project with CSS Files in the main directory which shall import partials from a subdirectory. I was wondering if it's possible to install sass on the server, create a compass project so that css files will be created automatically after a live edit of the scss files on the server? Or does it have to be local with a filewatcher? I already tried to set up a compass project on the server but no css files were created automatically. Was it because of wrong settings or is it just not possible this way?

If it's possible is there a good step by step tutorial? I already found this

Maybe the problem is the path. In my config.rb I changed the path without knowing what to write in the string if sass and css directory are the same as project path. Didn't work with "/" or an empty string.

To add a point to @aerook's answer, In your projects you may have multiple scss and css files. In which case you may use the following to watch the entire scss directory to make changes in the css directory

sass --watch scss:css

PS : scss and css are folder names in the same directory path.

Both Sass and Compass provide watch commands. You can use either:

sass --watch input.scss:output.css (options)

or, assuming you've got your Compass config file correctly setting your css_dir vairable: 

compass watch

Either of those should recompile the css file upon changes. If you want this done live on the server, you'll need to execute the watch command on the server.
