how can I render pug(jade) to html in npm scripts?

I am trying to build my package.json file, and I am having a difficult time when it comes to writing scripts. 

"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1", 
"build-css":"node-sass --output-style compressed -o build/styles src/styles", 
"pugtohtml": "npm pug -D index.pug"  
},

this doesn't work

I've installed the pug package and now I want to automate the task using just npm can you please help me with that and I would appreciate it if you give me tips and resources of how to learn writing scripts and automating tasks using just npm, thank you!

It looks like the command line client is required to use this with NPM scripts.

Per the Pug NPM page:

Package

npm install pug

Command Line

After installing the latest version of Node.js, install with:

npm install pug-cli -g

I'm using npm install pug-cli --save-dev instead because I prefer packages to be installed local to the project I'm working on, but YMMV.

If you're into the global (-g) thing, you might not need the pug-cli package for command line handling, and you could possibly use the other solutions mentioned here.

You must write the task like this 

"pugtohtml": "pug --output-style compressed -o dist/html/ assets/pug/*.pug"
