__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]).

= 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...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>
#* <kbd>'''Sh/Ksh: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$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>
== 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 ==
Complete the following steps to set up ConTeXt on Windows:
# 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.
= Check the installation =
Make sure that ConTeXt is installed on your system. To check that, go to the command prompt and type
context --version
You should get an output as follows:
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.06
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: /home/myuser/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv

mtx-context | current version: 2024.04.01 08:59
= Upgrade =
Re-run the install program to upgrade, which will update the distribution incrementally:
* Windows: <code>install.bat</code>
* GNU/Linux or macOS: <code>sh install.sh</code>
= First document =
== Creation of a first ConTeXt file ==
Open a [[Text Editors|text editor]], type the following content, and save the file as <code>doc01.tex</code>:
<texcode>
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
This is my first ConTeXt document.
\stopsection
\stoptext

== Compilation of the ConTeXt file to PDF file ==
