Less css for ubuntu (and compiling automatically)?

Question

I tried simplicity but is now not supported for linux. I tried with wine, and then other options. I do not want to type: lessc file.less> file.less every time I change the file.

Any good compiler, handy, automatic, for less CSS?

What is a linux tool that has the same functionality as WinLESS, that is, it compiles fewer files whenever they change, considering which fewer files include which ones?

The most obvious way is to run the javascript implementation on Node.

For Ubuntu, starting with the installation of nodejs and npm , see, for example, these instructions for compiling LESS into CSS using Node. You should do it with something like

 npm install -g less lessc mystyle.less
