Since April 2019, there is a new implementation of ConTeXt, named ConTeXt LMTX. It is tuned for LuaMetaTeX, the lean and mean successor of LuaTeX TeX engine (see article).

Installation
- Create a directory for, e.g. data/context
- Go there and download the relevant zip for your plateform (see above)
- Unpack the zip, some files will appear
- Execute the install program, which will take care of downloading the distribution:
- WINDOWS:
install.bat
- UNIX/MAC:
sh install.sh
- WINDOWS:
- Add ConTeXt to your system PATH :
- WINDOWS:
- run
setpath.bat
- run
- UNIX: use the PATH instructions provided at the end of
install.sh
with:- Bash shell
echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
- Zsh shell
echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv
- Sh/Ksh shell
echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
- Tcsh/csh shell
echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc
- Bash shell
- MAC:
- Same as for UNIX. MacOS Catalina (10.15) defaults to
Zsh
, earlier versions defaulted toBash
- Same as for UNIX. MacOS Catalina (10.15) defaults to
- WINDOWS:
First Run !
- Download the tex input file Hello-World.tex from our Detailed example
- Run
context Hello-world.tex
in your shell - Check the pdf output
Hello-world.pdf
.
You can also follow our two steps tutorial:
- Your 1st document
- and a more Detailed example
Moreover, a page is used to centralized Sample documents.
Easy update
For an update, just replay the install program: it also take care of updating the distribution incrementally:
- WINDOWS:
install.bat
- UNIX:
sh install.sh
Running MkIV
The new distribution still has all the files to run the previous version of ConTeXt.
- Run
context --luatex Hello-world.tex
in your shell to revert back to theluatex
binary and MkIV.
Further installation instructions
- Installing ConTeXt LMTX on MacOS
- Installing Modules for ConTeXt LMTX
- The official page Installing CONTEXT LMTX is hosted by Pragma-Ade.
- Pragma-Ade also provides the CONTEXT MKIV distribution (MKIV version is LMTX predecessor) for which there is also detailed Installation instructions.
