The latest version of jade can be download for the browser in standalone form from here. It only supports the very latest browsers though, and is a large file. It is recommended that you pre-compile your jade templates to JavaScript and then just use the runtime.js library on the client.
To compile a template for use on the client using the command line, do:
$ jade --client --no-debug filename.jadewhich will produce filename.js containing the compiled template.
After installing the latest version of node, install with:
$ npm install jade -gand run with
