fixed formatting problem with backticks
== System-wide installation ==
A system wide installation is only recommeded recommended for users who are comfortable with the command line. Only the location of installing ConTeXt is different for a system wide installation.
* on Linux you can use <code>/opt/context</code>
Note that, at present, while ''using'' MkIV, you need to have write permissions<ref>Actually, you only need write permission for <code>$TEXMFCACHE</code>.</ref> in the installation directory.<ref>This effectively means that only one user will be able to generate the formats</ref> So, if you are installing the suite in <code>/opt/context</code> or <code>/Applications/ConTeXt</code>, run
<pre>chown `whoami` -R /opt/context </pre>
or
<pre>chown `whoami` -R /Applications/ConTeXt</pre>
(<code>`whoami`</code> outputs your user name, ; you can type that directly, of course. The backticks substitute the output of the <code>whoami</code> command as an argument to <code>chown</code>.)
In order to install the suite, open a terminal, go to the installation directory and download [http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh first-setup.sh]:
