__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, eConTeXt.g. data/context# Go there and download Download the relevant zip for your plateform (see above)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/MAC: <code>sh install.sh</code># Add ConTeXt to your system PATH :#* WINDOWS: #** run <code>setpath.bat</code>#* UNIX: use Update the PATH instructions provided at the end of <code>installenvironment variable.sh</code> with:#** Bash shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>Generate cache#** Zsh shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>#** Sh/Ksh shell <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>#** Tcsh/csh shell <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructions..Optionally, delete the archive file.)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>#* MAC:#** Same as for UNIX. MacOS Catalina (10.15) defaults to `Zsh`, earlier versions defaulted to `Bash`
= First Run ! =See the next sections for instructions specific to various platforms.
* Download the tex input file [[Media:Hello-world.tex|Hello-World.tex]] from our [[Detailed_Example|Detailed example]]* Run <code>context Hello-world.tex<== GNU/code> in your shell* Check the pdf output <code>Hello-world.pdf</code>.Linux ==
You can also follow our two The steps tutorial:* [[First Document| Your 1st document]]* in this section show how to download and install ConTeXt for a more [[Detailed Example|Detailed example]]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:
Moreover# <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 page is used to centralized [[Sample documents]]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>
= Easy update = macOS ==
For an updateThe instructions for MacOS are the same as for Unix, just replay the install program: it also take care of updating the distribution incrementally:* WINDOWS: <code>install.bat</code>* UNIXbut note that: <code>sh install.sh</code>
= Further installation instructions =* 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
mtx-context | main context file: /home/myuser/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/context.mkxl
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
</texcode>
 
== Compilation of the ConTeXt file to PDF file ==
 
Go to the command-line and type:
 
<pre>context doc01</pre>
 
ConTeXt will then process your document, display some logging information on the console, and generate a <tt>doc01.pdf</tt> output file.

== Viewing the generated PDF file ==
 
Open the generated <tt>doc01.pdf</tt> PDF file using a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Viewers PDF viewer]. It should look as follows:
 
<context force="yes">
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext
\startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}]
This is my first ConTeXt document.
\stopsection
\stoptext
</context>
 
Note that the section has been numbered, the section number and the section title appear in a slightly larger fonts.
 
Your installation is now up and running: you can start working on the [[Tutorials]].
