re-add Linux 32bit link
__NOTOC__
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.# 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 $HOME/context# wget https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip# unzip context-linux-64.zip#2sh install.sh Update the PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program finishes. Installation The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used: * '''Bash''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$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>
# Create a directory for, e.g. data/context# Go there and download Then generate the relevant zip for your plateform (see aside)cache with # Unpack the zip, some files will appear# Execute the install program, which will take care of downloading the distribution:#* WINDOWS: <code>install.batmtxrun --generate</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.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 MacOS == ($path ...thepathinstructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>
The instructions for MacOS are the same as for Unix, but note that:
= #3* MacOS versions from Catalina (10.15) and newer use '''Zsh''' by default.* MacOS versions before Catalina use '''Bash''' by default. First Run ! =
* 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 shell* Check the pdf output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code>.== Windows ==
You can also follow our two Complete the following steps tutorialto set up ConTeXt on Windows:* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]* and a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]
# 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</code>
= #4Installation is complete. Easy update =
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)= First Run =
This section describes how to run ConTeXt to transform your first TeX document into a PDF.
= Official installation page =# 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>.

= Upgrade =
 
Re-run the install program to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally:
 
* Windows: <code>install.bat</code>
* Unix: <code>sh install.sh</code>
 
= Running MkIV =
 
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]].
