== Getting started ==
 
New to ConTeXt? Before installing you can [http://www.pragma-ade.com/overview.htm see] what you can do with it and [http://live.contextgarden.net try] the live version on the garden.

== Installation ==
+
The ConTeXt community builds, explores and shares.
ConTeXt comes from the ''Land of Flowers'' and resembles the flowers as well. It can make '''beautiful''' documents, but you have to use the '''[[Release Notes|fresh, latest]]''' version if possible. If you have [[TeXLive]], [[teTeX]], [[MikTeX]], [[fpTeX]] or a similar system installed, ConTeXt probably already resides on your computer (try running <code>texexec</code> and check how old it is), if not you can download it from [http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm here].
 
* [[Installation hints]]
 
* [[teTeX 3.0 installation]]
