I try to compress css files with lessc command.

I get this error:

$ lessc loading.css --clean-css="--s1 --advanced --compatibility=ie8" > output_file.min.css
Unable to load plugin clean-css please make sure that it is installed under or at the same level as less

How can I fix it?

As I see, less is installed, but lessc not.

You need to install less-plugin-clean-css.

So, run the command:

npm install -g less-plugin-clean-css
