Misleading installation instructions! Modular-Scale Version Issue! #236

I spent the last 2.5 hours trying to setup Gumby. After a lot of headache, I am amazed that it even worked. Here is the culprit behind the entire problem!

On http://gumbyframework.com/docs/#!/gem-dependencies, instruction states to "gem install compass modular-scale sass". Why isn't it publicly stated that gumby has a dependency on v1.0.6 of modular-scale? Modify your instruction to "gem install modular-scale -v 1.0.6"! (Source: README.md. "- Modular Scale - Scott Kellum Note: Please use modular scale 1.0.6, 2.x has not been integrated yet")

I ran gem install modular-scale and it downloaded 2.0.5! Worse, when i did gem cleanup modular-scale, it didn't even delete that version. I had to manually go into the directory where all the gems were installed and delete that version. (On Windows, go to \lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems to see all the gems that were installed on your machine. Please modify 2.0.0 with the version of Ruby you have installed on your machine. What a lousy url!)

I am an absolute beginner to SASS, so this entire installation as well as tutorials on how to use gumby/compass/sass was painful! Honestly the only motivation to continue with this whole thing was the screenshots of the features that were displayed.
