== Upgrade =Check the installation =
Re-run the install program to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally: * Windows: <code>install.bat</code>* GNU/Linux or macOS: <code>sh install.sh</code> = First document = Make sure that ConTeXt is installed on your system. To check that, go to the command line prompt and type
context --version
mtx-context | current version: 2024.04.01 08:59
If ConTeXt is not installed on your system, check the [[Installation|installation]] page for installation instructions.= Upgrade =
Follow Re-run the steps below install program to create a simple document using ConTeXtupgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally:
* Windows: <code>install.bat</code>* GNU/Linux or macOS: <code>sh install.sh</code> =First document = Create  == Creation of a first ConTeXt file ==
Open a [[Text Editors|text editor]], type the following content, and save the file as <code>hellodoc01.tex</code> or <code>hello.mkxl</code>:
<texcode>\setuppapersize[A6]\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document.
\stopsection
\stoptext</texcode> Words starting with a backslash (such as <code>\starttext</code>) are called '''command sequence''' or '''macros'''. The macros <texcode>\starttext....\stoptext</texcode> mark the content to be typeset. The material before <code>\starttext</code> (called ''preamble'') is used to change the style of the output; any material after <code>\stoptext</code> is ignored.  The macros <texcode>\startsection[title={...}]...\stopsection</texcode> mark the title and the content of a section.  The macro <code>{\em ...}</code> is a [[Font Switching| font switch]] that emphasizes the content (by showing it in slanted font).
== Compile Compilation of the ConTeXt file to PDF file ==
Go to the command-line and type:
<pre>context hellodoc01</pre>
ConTeXt will then process your document, display some logging information on the console, and generate a <tt>hellodoc01.pdf</tt> output file.

== View Viewing the generated PDF file ==
Open the generated <tt>hellodoc01.pdf</tt> PDF file using a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Viewers PDF viewer]. It should look as follows:
<context modeforce="mkivyes">% Draw a white frame so that the page is not truncated. % But it does not seem to work :( \setupbackgrounds[text]setuppapersize[frame=onA6]
\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document.
\stopsection
\stoptext
</context>
Note that the section has been numbered, the section number and the section title appear in a slightly larger fonts, and the emphasized word comes out in a slanted font.
Your installation is now up and running: you can start working on the [[Tutorials]].
== Running MkIV == The new distribution has all the files to run the previous version of ConTeXt.* Run <code>context --luatex Hello-world.tex</code> to use the `luatex` binary and [[MkIV]]. = Further installation Additional instructions =
* [[Installing ConTeXt LMTX on MacOS]]
* The official page '''[http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm Installing ConTeXt LMTX ]''' is hosted by Pragma ADE.
* Pragma ADE also provides the '''[http://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm ConTeXt MkIV distribution]''' (version MkIV is the predecessor of LMTX) for which there are also [[ConTeXt_Standalone|detailed installation instructions]].
* Compilation with ConTeXt MkIV (old LuaTeX-based version): The new distribution has all the files to run the previous version of ConTeXt.
** <code>context --luatex doc01</code>
 
ConTeXt is a ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language markup language]'' used to primarily create PDF files. To use ConTeXt, create a text file (typically with a <code>.tex</code> extension) with ConTeXt markup and ''compile'' the file by running the command <code>context filename</code>. This creates a PDF file. This page explains how to create your very first ConTeXt document.
