Installing third party modules
* rsync sometimes has problems with paths with uppercase letters (like <code>c:\Temp</code> or <code>C:\Documents and Settings</code>). Installing into all-lowercase paths without spaces sometimes helps.
* If you're behind firewall and rsync times out you need to open port 873 for outgoing TCP connections.
 
= Installint third party modules =
 
The ConTeXt Minimals only come with Taco's [Bibliography t-bib] module. If you want to install a new module, say Wolfgang's [Letter t-letter] module, you can use
first-setup.sh --extras="t-letter"
 
If you want to install more than one extra module, you can separate them by commas. So, to install the t-letter and t-mathsets module, do
sh ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-letter,t-mathsets"
 
== Upgrading an installation with extra modules installed ==
By default, <code>first-setup.sh</code> does a clean upgrade. This means that anything in the tex tree that is not requested is deleted. In particular, this means that if you are upgrading a installation with third party modules installed, but '''do not specify <code>--extras=<module-name></code>, then the installed module will be deleted'''. One way to avoid this is to always specify the modules that you want while upgrading. An easier alternative is to upgrade using
sh ./first-setup.sh --keep
which will not delete old unused files.
