Changes

Since April 2019, there is a new 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.#2Unpack the archive. 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 == 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.

# Create a directory for, e.g. data/context# Go there and download Complete the relevant zip 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> (following steps to set the executable permissions)# Add up ConTeXt 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::on Windows:: 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...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>

= #3Installation is complete. First Run ! =

* Download the tex input file [[Media:Hello-world.tex|Hello-World.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]]* = First Run <code>context Hello-world.tex</code> in your shell* Check the pdf output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code>.=

You can also follow our two steps tutorial:* [[First Document| Your 1st This section describes how to run ConTeXt to transform your first TeX document]]* and into a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]PDF.

= #4Download 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>. Easy update =

Just replay the install program, it also take care of updating the distributionAdditional tutorials include:* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>* UNIX: <code>install.sh</code> (set the executable permissions)
