== Step 2: Add ConTeXt's executables folder to Windows search PATH ==
'''Note''': you will need admin rights for this. On public machines for example you most probably won't be able to add ConTeXt to that machine's path. In that case skip this step and go to Step 3 respectively Step 4.1 directly.
1. Open Windows' '''System''' dialog
* either by<code>Right-click</code>ing on '''This PC''' / '''My Computer''' on your Desktop and then clicking on '''Properties'''* or byclicking '''Start''' -> '''Settings''' -> '''About''' -> '''System Info'''* or on older Windows Machines by going to '''Control Panel''' -> '''System'''.
* 2. Click on '''Advanced System Settings''' ("System Properties"). 3. Click on '''Advanced'''-Tab. 4. Click on '''NoteEnvironment Variables...''' that you should . 5. Choose where to add ConTeXt's executables folder to your :*Either to '''User variables for USER''' for the current user only*or to '''System variables''' for all users. 6. Double-click on the respective variable called Path. 7. Add your ConTeXt executables to Windows path.* '''Note''' that the position, to where you add the location is sorted by importancy. If The most important directories will be searched first. This might be taken into account when using ConTeXt together with MiKTeX for any reason example. It's safest to place ConTeXt's path at the very beginning.* In '''User''' Path variable you canmight need to add the location and seperate it from the existing ones by using a semikolon (<code>;</code>).* In '''System'''tPath variable you probably only have to add a new line. The location should look like this: * Win x86 / 32 bit: D:\CTX\tex\texmf-mswin\bin* Win x64 / 64 bit: D:\CTX\tex\texmf-win64\bin 8. Save your changes. Usually no restart or re-login is needed after this operation, add but to make sure, that the folder was added, you should restart your machine.You can test whether it to worked by starting your Command prompt and entering the following line, while being in a directory other than the one you just added.  context -version * A message should apear, that shows you the current version.* If a message like '''User Pathcontext'is not recognized as an internal or external command...''appears, you should restart your machine, make sure that you added the correct location oder re-try the operation by starting from Step 2.1.
== Step 3: Install '''Textadept''' ==
