re-add Linux 32bit link
__NOTOC__
Since April 2019, there is a new major version implementation of ConTeXt, named '''ConTeXt [[LMTX]]'''. It is tuned for LuaMetaTeX, the lean and mean successor of LuaTeX TeX engine (see [https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb40-1/tb124hagen-lmtx.pdf article]).

= 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.
# Generate cache
# 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 https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/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/context` on a system running bash, then the following line would update the PATH environment variable:
 
<code>echo 'export PATH=$HOME/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>
 
Then generate the cache with
<code>mtxrun --generate</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:
<ul style="display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(25em# Create a directory for ConTeXt, 1fr)); grid-gapsuch as `C:3rem; justify\context`.# Download the architecture-contentspecific version into the ConTeXt directory.# Extract the archive.# Run: space-between;list-style: none;padding: 0px;margin: 0px; "<code>install.bat<li style="height: stretch; padding: 10px; background-color: #f6f6f6; "/code>=== #2- Installation ===Run: <code>setpath.bat</code>

Just replay the install program, it also take care of updating the distribution:* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>* UNIX: <code>install.sh</code> (set the executable permissions)</li></ul>= Upgrade =
Re-run the install program to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally:

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