__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]). = #1. Download =

= #2The steps in this section show how to download and install ConTeXt for a 64-bit Linux system. Installation =Change the archive file download link as needed for your target platform. Open a new terminal then run the following commands:
# Create a directory for, e.g. data/context# Go there and download 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> (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>
= #3* MacOS versions from Catalina (10. First Run ! =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>
* 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 ==

= 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 ==
# <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...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>
#* <kbd>'''Sh/Ksh: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$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>
The instructions for MacOS are the same as for Unix, but note that:
# Create a directory for ConTeXt, such as <code>C:\context</code>.
# Download the architecture-specific version into the ConTeXt directory.
# Extract the archive.
# Run: <code>install.bat</code>
# Run: <code>setpath.bat</code>
# Then generate the cache with the command <code>mtxrun --generate</code> in a command prompt.
# Delete the file archive file context-*win*.zip.
