= Installation =
The general steps to install ConTeXt LMTX are as follows:
# Create a directory for ConTeXt.
# Download the platform-specific archive file into the ConTeXt directory.
# Unpack the archive.
# Execute the install program, which downloads the distribution.
# Update the PATH environment variable.
# Optionally, delete the archive file.
See the next sections for instructions specific to various platforms.
== Unix ==
The steps in this section show how to download and install ConTeXt for a 64-bit Linux system. Change the archive file download link as needed for your target platform. Open a new terminal then run the following commands:
# mkdir $HOME/bin/context
# cd $HOME/bin/context
# wget http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip
# unzip context-linux-64.zip
# sh install.sh
Update the PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program finishes. The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used:
* '''Bash''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>
* '''Zsh''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>
* '''Sh'''/'''Ksh''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>
* '''Tcsh'''/'''csh''': <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...instructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>
For example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$HOME/bin/context` on a system running bash, then the following line would update the PATH environment variable:
<code>echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>
== MacOS ==
The instructions for MacOS are the same as for Unix, but note that:
* MacOS versions from Catalina (10.15) and newer use '''Zsh''' by default.
* MacOS versions before Catalina use '''Bash''' by default.
== Windows ==
Complete the following steps to set up ConTeXt on Windows:
# Create a directory for ConTeXt, such as `C:\context`.
# Download the architecture-specific version into the ConTeXt directory.
# Extract the archive.
# Run: <code>install.bat</code>
# Run: <code>setpath.bat</code>
Installation is complete.

= Running MkIV =
The new distribution still has all the files to run the previous version of ConTeXt. * Run <code>context --luatex Hello-world.tex</code> in your shell to revert back to use the `luatex` binary and [[MkIV]].
