= First Run ! =For example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$HOME/context` on a system running bash, then the following line would update the PATH environment variable:
* Download the tex input file [[Media:Hello-world.tex|Hello-World.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]]* Run <code>echo 'export PATH=$HOME/context Hello/tex/texmf-world.tex<linux-64/codebin:$PATH' > in your shell* Check the pdf output <code>Hello-world~/.pdfbashrc</code>.
You can also follow our two steps tutorial:* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]* and a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]== MacOS ==
MoreoverThe instructions for MacOS are the same as for Unix, a page is used to centralized [[Sample documents]].but note that:
= Easy update =* MacOS versions from Catalina (10.15) and newer use '''Zsh''' by default.* MacOS versions before Catalina use '''Bash''' by default.
For an update== 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>

= 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/context
# cd $HOME/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:
= 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]].
= Further installation instructions =
* [[Installing ConTeXt LMTX on MacOS]]
* [[Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX|Installing Modules for ConTeXt LMTX]]
* The official page '''[http://www.pragma-ade.com/install.htm Installing CONTEXT ConTeXt LMTX ]''' is hosted by Pragma-AdeADE.* Pragma-Ade ADE also provides the '''[http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm CONTEXT MKIV ConTeXt MkIV distribution]''' (MKIV version MkIV is the predecessor of LMTX predecessor) for which there is are also [[ConTeXt_Standalone|detailed Installation installation instructions]].
