i was trying compiling bootstrap.less but got error in progress-bar.less (i 
haven't done any change in that file).

Tried using less compiler from terminal as instructed but in that also I am 
getting error.
-- I installed less via npm
-- When i am trying to run less bootstrap.less > bootstrap.css , i am getting 
-bash: lessc: command not found

i want to do quite a few change in variables.less to change all colors and all 
and this not compiling is driving me crazy now :(
