Changes

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 # 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 ==

# Create a directory for, emkdir $HOME/context# cd $HOME/context# wget https://lmtx.gpragma-ade. datacom/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip# Go there and download the relevant unzip context-linux-64.zip for your plateform (see aside)# Unpack sh install.sh Update the zip, some files will appear# Execute PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program, which finishes. The instructions will take care vary depending on the type of downloading the distributionshell being used:#* WINDOWS'''Bash''': <code>installecho 'export PATH=...instructions.bat</code>#* UNIX: <code>install.sh</code> (set the executable permissions)# Add ConTeXt to your system PATH :#* WINDOWS: run <code>setpath.bat</code>#* UNIX: use the $PATH instructions provided at the end of <code' >>install~/.shbashrc</code> with:* '''Zsh'''::: Bash shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructionsinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrczshenv</code>::: * '''Sh'''/'''Ksh shell ''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructionsinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>::: * '''Tcsh'''/'''csh shell ''': <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructionsinstructions...)' >> ~/.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: # 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</licode> Installation is complete. = First Run =

* Download the tex input file [[MediaAdditional tutorials include: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>.
