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]).
Update the PATH environment variable by using the instructions displayed by the install program. The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used: * '''Bash''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code>* '''Zsh''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.zshenv</code>* '''Sh'''/'''Ksh''': <code>echo 'export PATH=...thepathinstructions...:$PATH' >> ~/.profile</code>* '''Tcsh'''/'''csh''': <code>echo 'set path = ($path ...thepathinstructions...)' >> ~/.cshrc</code> For example, if ConTeXt was downloaded into `$HOME/bin/context` on a system running bash, then the following line would update the PATH environment variable: <code>echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc</code> === MacOS =macOS ==

# 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.
== Unix GNU/Linux ==
The following 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/bincontext</context# code> and <code>cd $HOME/bincontext</contextcode># <code>wget httphttps://lmtx.pragma-ade.nlcom/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip</code># <code>unzip context-linux-64.zip</code># <code>sh install.sh</code># Update the PATH environment variable by using the path instructions displayed when the install program finishes. The instructions will vary depending on the type of shell being used:#* <kbd>'''Bash: '''</kbd> <code>echo 'export PATH=...instructions...:$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:
* 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 instructions 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 directory.
# Extract the archive.
# Run: <code>install.bat</code>
# Run: <code>setpath.bat</code>
# OptionallyThen 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]], delete type the following content, and save the archive fileas <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:
