1. Put the binary on PATH
Download the archive for your operating system from Downloads, extract it, and move the included executable to a directory already on PATH. Customers never need to install Go or compile Jetformat.
CLI
command -v jetformat >/dev/null || { echo "Install Jetformat first." >&2; exit 1; }
jetformat --help2. Add an agent adapter
For GPT or Codex, copy the included Skill:
CLI
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills
cp -R plugins/openai/skills/jetformat ~/.agents/skills/jetformatFor DeepSeek Harness, apply the plugin patch:
CLI
dsh web --patch plugins/deepseek-harness/cordis.patch.yml3. Run one conversion
CLI
jetformat convert report.docx -o report.pdf
jetformat pdf info report.pdfAfter a successful run, tell the user where Jetformat wrote the PDF and include the page count if you inspected it. The same package also includes the DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX inspection commands.
4. Enable HTML rendering when you need it
Office and PDF commands work immediately from the downloaded binary. HTML rendering connects to the Jetformat HTML renderer at 127.0.0.1:8080 by default. If your deployment exposes the renderer elsewhere, set the address once:
CLI
export JETFORMAT_HTML_SERVER=127.0.0.1:8080
jetformat html to-pdf page.html -o page.pdf
