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]).

# Create a directory for, e.g. data/context# Go there and download See the relevant zip next sections for your plateform (see aside)# Unpack the zip, some files will appear# Execute the install program, which will take care of downloading the distribution:#* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>#* UNIX: <code>install.sh</code> (set the executable permissions)# Add ConTeXt instructions specific to your system PATH :#* WINDOWS: run <code>setpath.bat</code>#* UNIX: use the PATH instructions provided at the end of <code>install.sh</code> with:::: Bash shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>::: Sh/Ksh shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>::: Tcsh/csh shell <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructions...)' >> ~/various platforms.cshrc</code>

= #3The steps in this section show how to download and install ConTeXt for a 64-bit Linux system. First Run with ConTeXt ! =Change the archive file download link as needed for your target platform. Open a new terminal then run the following commands:

* Download the tex input file [[Media# mkdir $HOME/context# cd $HOME/context# wget https:Hello//lmtx.pragma-worldade.tex|Hellocom/install-Worldlmtx/context-linux-64.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]]zip* Run <code># unzip context Hello-worldlinux-64.tex</code> in your shellzip* Check the pdf output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code># sh install.sh

You can also follow our two steps tutorialUpdate 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:* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]* and a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]

* '''Bash''': <code>echo 'export PATH= #4. Easy update ..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>

Just replay For example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$HOME/context` on a system running bash, then the install program, it also take care of updating following line would update the distributionPATH environment variable:* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>* UNIX: <code>install.sh</code> (set the executable permissions)

Then generate the cache with <code>mtxrun --generate</code>.== MacOS = Official installation page =
