Jade-cli - saving folder structure gives an error

Question

I'm using jade-cli to compile my project from .jade files into .html.

Jade files have following hierarchy:

components
  views
  templates
  ...

I want rendered result to have same folder structure and trying to use -H attribute as it is said in documentation here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jade-cli

However when I'm using command jade -P -H src -o dst npm returns following error:

silly lifecycle @~build: Args: [ '/d /s /c', 'jade -P -H src -o dst' ]
    12 silly lifecycle @~build: Returned: code: 1  signal: null

error There is likely additional logging output above.
verbose exit [ 1, true ]

If -H is excluded everything runs fine. What seems to be the problem?

npm version: 6.9.1 jade version: 1.11.0

Issue has been resolved. My mistake was that I thought jade-cli was part of common jade package. Appears that you have to install it separately using

npm i jade-cli -g

-g for installing it globally.

After this compilation goes successfully and creates all necessary folder architecture
