File Watcher transpiler for pugJs

Hello, I am stuck at creating a transpiler for pugJs. 

Everywhere I've been looking for an answer, people use "jade.cmd", but I have completely no idea how to create that file or what should be inside of it.

I tried searching for jade/pug transpilers, but was unable to find anything.

Currently I am using gulp + cmd to create html files out of pugJs. I would prefer to use built in watcher instead.

You need installling pug-cli using 

npm install pug-cli -g

(see https://github.com/pugjs/pug)

and then specify %YOUR_HOME%\AppData\Roaming\npm\pug.cmd as a 'program' for your file watcher

Hi!

I've followed the instructions above but I still can't locate the file to use as a program. I'm using a mac and it creates several pug files inside an .npm folder that exists in a different place than the one mentioned above.

Is there any other way for MacOS?

Thanks!

the location should be <npm prefix>/bin/pug, like /usr/local/bin/pug ( /usr/local is a default npm prefix on OSX)

You can run which pug in terminal to locate the executable, or use 

npm config get prefix

to see what npm prefix is being used

Thanks so much Elena!

I also noticed that if I remove that watcher, then add it back again in the same window, it fills that field like you are saying and it works.
