That's it.
== Installation Single user installation ==
(If Select a folder where you followed the above "shortest instructions"want to install ConTeXt. We recommend that you can use your <code>$HOME/context</code> directory. Create this folder. Then download [http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh first-setup.sh] and place it in <code>$HOME/context</code> directory. Open a terminal, you don't need to proceed here!)then:
Select a folder where you want to install ConTeXt. For a single user installation, you can use your <code>$HOME/ cd context</code> directory.
For a multi-user installation, in Linux you can use Then run the <code>/opt/contextfirst-setup.sh</code>; on MacOS X you can use <code>to download the whole distribution and make formats: sh ./Applications/ConTeXt</code> (You should '''not''' do that if you don't know what you do!)first-setup.sh
This takes a long time, so go have a coffee. By default, the minimals installs ConTeXt beta. If you want the stable version of ConTeXt, you can use  sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current == System-wide installation == A system wide installation is only recommeded for users who are comfortable with the command line. Only the location of installing ConTeXt is different for a system wide installation.In Linux you can use <code>/opt/context</code>; on MacOS X you can use <code>/Applications/ConTeXt</code> Note that, at present, while ''using'' MkIV, you need to have write permissions<ref>Actually, you only need write permission for <code>$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 minimals in <code>/opt/context</code> or <code>/Applications/ConTeXt</code>, run
chmod `whoami` -R /opt/context
(<code>`whoami`</code> outputs your user name, you can type that directly, of course.)
In order to install the minimals, open a terminal, go to the installation directory (<code>cd ~/context</code>) and download [http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh first-setup.sh]:
curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
