Node JS - Custom command to run app.js

I want to be able to install my package through npm and then run app.js with a custom command without using npm start. I have looked around the web and many examples show adding a line in scripts in the package.json file, but all of these require it to be run using npm start. Is there a way to execute a .js file with node using a custom command e.g. importer --file?

Before publishing your package, you'll need to have a package.json file with at least the following:

{ "name": "importer", "version": "0.0.1", "bin": "./importer.js" }
