Install OpenJade and the OpenSP suite

Extract the files

Extract the OpenJade archive into a suitable directory for installation, e.g. c:\Programs\OpenJade-1.3.

Adjust PATH

Change the PATH system environment variable to include the OpenJade bin directory. This is done via the system settings. Select the "Environment" tab in the System dialog, click on the PATH entry in the upper pane (System variables), and append the path, e.g. C:\Programs\OpenJade-1.3\bin, to the semicolon-separated list. Click Set and do not yet close the dialog.

Create SGML_CATALOG_FILES

Create a SGML_CATALOG_FILES system environment variable. This variable tells the SP applications where to look for catalog files. These catalog files are used to resolve public identifiers to local filenames. In the Environment tab of the system dialog enter SGML_CATALOG_FILES as a new variable name in the upper pane. The value of this variable is a semicolon-separated list of catalog files. Now there is only one catalog to be included, which is provided by the Jade package. The current directory should be included as well (assuming that the catalog file is called catalog, which is often the case) as well as the SP catalog file. If you put the catalog file of the current directory on the first position of the list, you can easily override any system catalogs by simply providing a catalog file in your document's directory. You will later modify this variable, when you install the HTML and DocBook DTDs. Be aware that this variable is not a list of directories that contain catalog files, but rather a list of the paths of individual catalog files. Set the initial value of the environment variable e.g. as follows:

.\catalog;C:\Programs\OpenJade-1.3\dsssl\catalog

Individual users can add private catalog files by defining a user environment variable SGML_CATALOG_FILES which holds the full paths of these catalog files (don't forget to include "%SGML_CATALOG_FILES%" in the user's lists).
