= Simple instructions for installing on Unix like system (Linux/Mac OSX/FreeBSD/Solaris) =
If you do not use LaTeX and want to install the minimals in your home directory, follow these instructions. Otherwise, read the more detailed instructions in the next section.
* Open a new terminal. You're in your home folder (<code>~</code>) now.
* Type the boxed sections. End every line with [Return]. Leave out the <code>$</code>, that's your shell prompt!
* Create the context folder and change into it:
$ mkdir context
$ cd context
* Download <code>first-setup.sh</code>:
$ rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
* Run it and go make tea:
$ sh ./first-setup.sh
* Run the ''path setup'':
$ source ./tex/setuptex
ConTeXt should work now (i.e. at this moment in this terminal); you need to run the path setup with every new terminal window; to automate that, you can add the <tt>setuptex</tt> command to your "profile", that's a script that gets called with every new terminal. If you are using ''bash'' you can do.
$ cd
$ echo '. ~/context/tex/setuptex' >> .bash_profile
For other shells, replace <code>.bash_profile</code> by the corresponding file for your shell.
{{Note | The ConTeXt minimals can happily coexist with other TeX installations such as one already distributed with your system or one installed from TeX Live. However, having the minimals automatically included in your PATH may lead to some subtle conflicts. As an example, the running of <code>lualatex</code> (not included in the minimals) will find an installed version, however running <code>bibtex</code> or <code>mpost</code> (both included in the minimals) may not use the right tree, that is the one distributed with your system or installed from TeX Live.}}
That's it.
