The JadeTeX package is a companion package to the OpenJade DSSSL processor. JadeTeX transforms high level LaTeX macros into DVI/PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) forms.

If you downloaded the demo files tarball, unpack it along with the source tarball. It will unpack as a demo directory in the root of the source tree.
First, as the root user, make some required modifications to the texmf.cnf file already installed on the system by the TeX package, then build a new latex.fmt file using the following commands:
sed -i.orig -e "s/original texmf.cnf/modified texmf.cnf/" \
-e "s/memory hog.../&\npool_size.context = 750000/" \
$(kpsewhich texmf.cnf) &&
cat >> $(kpsewhich texmf.cnf) << "EOF"

Install JadeTex using the following commands:

If you downloaded the demo files tarball, issue the following commands as an unprivileged user to test the functionality of the new JadeTex installation:
cd demo && openjade -t tex -d demo.dsl demo.sgm && jadetex demo.tex && pdfjadetex demo.tex
The commands should complete without errors or warnings and create demo.dvi and demo.pdf files.
sed -i -e ... -e ... $(kpsewhich texmf.cnf): This command uses kpsewhich to locate the installed texmf.cnf. The first change is used to modify the header of the file so that if TeX is upgraded, the file won't get overwritten. The next change adds a parameter to increase ConTeXt's memory size to accommodate JadeTeX.
fmtutil-sys ...: These commands are used to build the latex.fmt, jadetex.fmt and pdfjadetex.fmt files. Additionally, the command automagically places the files in the correct directory.
mktexlsr; ln -v -sf tex ...; ln -v -sf pdftex ...: The JadeTeX programs are actually just symlinks to the TeX programs. mktexlsr updates TeX's ls-R database used by the libkpathsea library so that TeX knows to use the JadeTeX .fmt files when jadetex or pdfjadetex is called.
If you need to modify the default JadeTeX macro settings, see the JadeTeX FAQ.
