Changes

__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 =

# Create a directory for, e.gConTeXt. data/context# Go there and download Download the relevant zip for your plateform (see aside)platform-specific archive file into the ConTeXt directory.# Unpack the zip, some files will appeararchive.# Execute the install program, which will take care of downloading downloads the distribution:#* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>#* UNIX: <code>install.sh</code> (set Update the executable permissions)# Add ConTeXt to your system PATH :environment variable.#* WINDOWS: run <code>setpath.bat</code>Generate cache#* UNIX: use Optionally, delete 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 = ($path ...thepathinstructions...)' >> ~/archive file.cshrc</code>

= #3. First Run ! = GNU/Linux ==

* Download The steps in this section show how to download and install ConTeXt for a 64-bit Linux system. Change the tex input archive file [[Media:Hello-world.tex|Hello-World.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]]* Run <code>context Hello-worlddownload link as needed for your target platform.tex</code> in your shell* Check Open a new terminal then run the pdf output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code>.following commands:

You can also follow our two steps tutorial# <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...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>#* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]<kbd>'''Sh/Ksh: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>#* and <kbd>'''Tcsh/csh:'''</kbd> <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...instructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>#* For example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$HOME/context` on a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]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>

Just replay * 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 install program, it also take care of updating the distributionbinaries (and sometimes every created PDF):* WINDOWS: * <code>installsudo xattr -r -d com.apple.batquarantine bin/mtxrun</code>* UNIX: * <code>installsudo xattr -r -d com.shapple.quarantine tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/*</code> (set the executable permissions)
