These are valid for MacOS X If you do not use LaTeX and probably most Linuxes; we expect you want to running install the minimals in your home directory, follow these instructions. Otherwise, read the ''bash'' shell; more information on that see within "Installation"detailed instructions in the next section.
Make it executable: $ chmod a+x first-setup.sh * Run it and go make tea:

== Shortest Simple instructions ==
* Open a new shell window (Terminal on OSX)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>:
$ curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
$ sh ./first-setup.sh
* Run the ''path setup'':
$ ./tex/setuptex
ConTeXt should work now (i.e. at this moment in this shell windowterminal); you need to run the path setup with every new shell (i.e. Terminal) 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 shell window. If you are using ''bash'' you can do.
$ cd
$ echo "sh ~/context/tex/setuptex" >> .bash_profile
For other shells, replace <code>.bash_profile</code> by the similar file.
That's it.
