-   The first `npm` command sets up the popular [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) build tool. You might need to run this command with `sudo` if you're on Linux or Mac OS X, or in an Administrator command prompt on Windows. The second `npm` command fetches the remaining build dependencies.

 3. **Run the build tool**

-   grunt
+   npm run grunt
    ```
    Now you'll find the built files in `build/output/`.
 
+   To run a single task, use `--`

+   ```sh
+   npm run grunt -- build:debug
