Not able to process pug files.

This is the terminal output. I installed it the bundler way.

Hi, HaoZeke!

Thanks for trying out Jekyll-Pug and I greatly hope this plugin can improve your development speed in the future. 😄

So, this error means that you do not have the pug-cli installed. Pug-cli has an assortment of terminal commands that Jekyll-Pug uses in the background to process your Pug files.

So, to install pug-cli, first you are going to need NPM (The Node package manager.)

Ubuntu install instructions

Mac install instructions

Windows install instructions

Once you have npm installed, type the following command to install pug-cli:

npm install pug-cli -g

After that, type pug -V to ensure pug-cli is working properly.

Now, you're all set! Build your jekyll-pug site again and all should be working accordingly.

Happy jekylling!

Thanks a ton... this gets it working... (actually I was having issues with yarn global not installing pug-cli properly)

It's a great plugin, doesn't really get the exposure it deserves..

Glad you got it working!

It's actually a very new plugin. Just published it a month ago and it already has over 200 downloads, according to RubyGems.org.

I made it because the previous Pug plugin sucked very bad and I NEEDED a Pug plugin for the perfect web design workflow.

I'll be making a website for this plugin soon so that it will hopefully get ranked in Google for the term "Jekyll pug". It seems the old Pug plugin is still ranked #1 in Google unfortunately.
