= Installation =
The general steps to install ConTeXt LMTX are as follows: # Create a directory for ConTeXt (e.g., bin/context).# Download the platform-specific archive file into said the ConTeXt directory (see above).#* For example, on a 64-bit Linux platform, you may use the following steps:#*# <code>cd bin/context</code>#*# <code>wget http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip</code>
# Unpack the archive.
# Execute the install program, which downloads the distribution.
#* WINDOWSUpdate 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>install.batmkdir $HOME/context</code> and <code>cd $HOME/context</code>#* UNIX/MAC: <code>sh wget https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.shzip</code># Add the ConTeXt directory to the system PATH environment variable.#* WINDOWS: #** run <code>setpathunzip context-linux-64.batzip</code>#* UNIX: use the PATH instructions provided at the end of <code>sh install.sh</code> with# Update the PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program finishes. The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used:#** <kbd>'''Bash shell : '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructionsinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>#** <kbd>'''Zsh shell : '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructionsinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>#** <kbd>'''Sh/Ksh shell : '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructionsinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>#** <kbd>'''Tcsh/csh shell :'''</kbd> <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructionsinstructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code>#* MACFor example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$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>#** Same 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. Unix, but note that: * MacOS versions from Catalina (10.15) defaults to `and newer use '''Zsh`, earlier ''' by default.* MacOS versions defaulted 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 `Bash`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.

= Further installation instructions =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]].
