Most [[TeX Distributions]] include an installation of ConTeXt already -- try running <tt>texexec --version</tt> to .To see if it's installed on your system. If it is not installed, run there are two important considerations while considering ConTeXt installation. texexec --version
If it is not installed, there are two important considerations. * Do you want a '''ConTeXt distribution ''' or do you want a '''TeX distribution ''' (plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and lots of other goodies). * Do you want a '''stable ''' version of ConTeXt, or do you want the '''bleeding edge ''' version. Remember that ConTeXt gets updated frequently.
If you are on a Linux system, there is also a third consideration:
* Do you want a '''distribution package''', or do you want your own '''local TeX ''' installation. Depending on your OS and the answers to the above questions, you should choose what to install.
