Changes

Most __NOTOC__Since April 2019, there is a new implementation of ConTeXt, named '''ConTeXt [[TeX DistributionsLMTX]] include an installation '''. It is tuned for LuaMetaTeX, the lean and mean successor of ConTeXt already LuaTeX TeX engine (see [https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb40-1/tb124hagen- try running lmtx.pdf article]). = Download = <ul id="DownloadRework"> <ttli>texexec === Windows ===* X86 [https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-version<lmtx/tt> to see if it's installed on your systemcontext-mswin.

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. == 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</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 [[Ubuntu_InstallationMedia:Hello-world.tex|UbuntuHello-World.tex]]*** from our [[Linux_InstallationDetailed_Example|other distributionsDetailed 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: * [[Mac InstallationFirst Document|MacYour first document]]** [[Windows InstallationDetailed Example|WindowsDetailed example]]** See the [[OpenBSD installation|OpenBSDSample documents]]page for even more examples. = Upgrade = Re-run the install program to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally: * From sourceWindows:<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 [[teTeX 3.0 installationMkIV]]: Specific . = Further installation instructions using the teTeX 3.0 source distribution.= *[[Installing ConTeXt LMTX on MacOS]]* [[TeX-live Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX| TeX-live installationInstalling Modules for ConTeXt LMTX]]* The official page '''[http: Specific installation instructions using //www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm Installing ConTeXt LMTX ]''' is hosted by Pragma ADE.* Pragma ADE also provides the TeX'''[http://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-live source 1.htm ConTeXt MkIV distribution]''' (version MkIV is the predecessor of LMTX) for which there are also [[ConTeXt_Standalone|detailed installation instructions]].*  ---- {{Installation navbox}} [[Category:Basics]][[Category:Installation hints]]
