Node / Nodist and Jade.cmd

I am following the MEAN stack series on PluralSight. I have reached a stage where I need to add a File Watcher in WebStorm 8 to Jade files.

The author in the video has the following path for his watcher program:

c:/nodist/bin/jade.cmd:

file watcher dialog

I cannot do the same as him because I do not have that directory! I have downloaded and extracted nodist but all I see is a bunch of files (node.exe being among them, even though I had node.js installed before).

Plus, in the /bin/ folder in the extracted nodist zip there is no jade.cmd!

How can I get the jade.cmd into the bin folder for nodist?

Solution

  • Install Jade using npm, like

    npm install jade -g

    jade.cmd will be created in your home directory, like

    C:\Users\your.name\AppData\Roaming\npm\jade.cmd

    and then specify this full path in the Jade file watcher
