Browser Support
The latest version of pug can be download for the browser in standalone form from here. It only supports the very latest browsers though, and is a large file. It is recommended that you pre-compile your pug templates to JavaScript and then just use the runtime.js library on the client.
To compile a template for use on the client using the command line, do:
$ pug --client --no-debug filename.pug
which will produce filename.js
containing the compiled template.
Command Line
After installing the latest version of node, install with:
$ npm install pug-cli -g
and run with
$ pug --help
