Changes

__NOTOC__Since April 2019, there is a new major version of ConTeXt, named '''ConTeXt LMTX'''. It is a new implementation tuned for LuaMetaTeX TeX engine, the lean and mean successor of the LuaTeX TeX engine (see [https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb40-1/tb124hagen-lmtx.pdf article]).You can [[Read Me| read the licence]] (Creative Commons GNU GPL for program code, and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike for documentation). = #1.

You can [[Read Me| read the licence]] (Creative Commons GNU GPL for program code, and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike for documentation). = 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. == GNU/Linux == 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: # <code>mkdir $HOME/context</code> and <code>cd $HOME/context</code># <code>wget https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip</code># <code>unzip context-linux-64.zip</code># <code>sh install.sh</code># Update the PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program finishes. The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used:#* <kbd>'''Bash: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>#* <kbd>'''Zsh: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH= ...instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>#2* <kbd>'''Sh/Ksh: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=... Installation instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>#* <kbd>'''Tcsh/csh:'''</kbd> <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>.# <code>rm context-linux-64.zip</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.* You might need to de-quarantine the binaries (and sometimes every created PDF):** <code>sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine bin/mtxrun</code>** <code>sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/*</code> == Windows ==

# Create a directory forConTeXt, e.gsuch as <code>C:\context</code>. data/context# Go there and download Download the relevant zip for your plateform (see aside)# Unpack architecture-specific version into the zip, some files will appearConTeXt directory.# Execute Extract the install program, which will take care of downloading the distribution:archive.#* WINDOWSRun: <code>install.bat</code>#* UNIXRun: <code>install.sh</code> (set the executable permissions)# Add ConTeXt to your system PATH :#* WINDOWS: run <code>setpath.bat</code>#* UNIX: use Then generate the PATH instructions provided at cache with the end of command <code>install.shmtxrun --generate</code> with:::: Bash shell <code>echo 'export PATH=in a command prompt...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>::: Sh/Ksh shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>::: Tcsh/csh shell <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructions.# Delete the file archive file context-*win*.zip.)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>

= #3Make sure that ConTeXt is installed on your system. First Run with ConTeXt ! =To check that, go to the command prompt and type

* 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>.version

You can also follow our two steps tutorialshould get an output as follows:* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]* and a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]
