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]).

For an update* 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, just replay 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> Installation is complete. = First Run = This section describes how to run ConTeXt to transform your first TeX document into a PDF. # 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>. Additional tutorials include: * [[First Document| Your first document]]* [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]] See the [[Sample documents]] page for even more examples. = Upgrade = Re-run the install program: it also take care of updating to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally: * WINDOWSWindows: <code>install.bat</code>* UNIXUnix: <code>sh install.sh</code> (set  = 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 executable permissions)`luatex` binary and [[MkIV]].
