The general steps to install ConTeXt LMTX are as follows:
# Create a directory for, eConTeXt.g. data/context# Go there and download Download the relevant zip for your plateform (see above)platform-specific archive file into the ConTeXt directory.# Unpack the zip, some files will appeararchive.# Execute the install program, which will take care of downloading downloads the distribution:#* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>#* UNIX/MAC: <code>sh install.sh</code># Add ConTeXt to your system Update the PATH :#* WINDOWS: #** run <code>setpathenvironment variable.bat</code>#* UNIX: use Optionally, delete the PATH instructions provided at the end of <code>install.sh</code> with:#** Bash shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>#** Zsh shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructionsarchive file...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>#** Sh/Ksh shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>#** Tcsh/csh shell <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>#* MAC:#** Same as for UNIX. MacOS Catalina (10.15) defaults to `Zsh`, earlier versions defaulted to `Bash`
= First Run ! =See the next sections for instructions specific to various platforms.
* Download the tex input file [[Media:Hello-world.tex|Hello-World.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]]* Run <code>context Hello-world.tex</code> in your shell* Check the pdf output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code>.== Unix ==
You can also follow our two The steps tutorial:* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]* in this section show how to download and install ConTeXt for a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]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:
Moreover, a page is used to centralized [[Sample documents]]# mkdir $HOME/bin/context# cd $HOME/bin/context# wget http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip# unzip context-linux-64.zip# sh install.sh
= Easy update =Update the PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program finishes. The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used:
* '''Bash''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$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 = ($path ...instructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code> For an example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$HOME/bin/context` on a system running bash, then the following line would updatethe 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, just replay 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. = First Run = This section describes how to run ConTeXt to transform your first TeX document into a PDF. # Download the tex input file [[Media:Hello-world.tex|Hello-World.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]].# Run <code>context Hello-world.tex</code> in your terminal (or command prompt).# Check the PDF output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code>. Additional tutorials include: * [[First Document| Your first document]]* [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]] See the [[Sample documents]] page for even more examples. = Upgrade = Re-run the install program: it also take care of updating to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally: * WINDOWSWindows: <code>install.bat</code>* UNIXUnix: <code>sh install.sh</code>
= 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]].
