→Installation by hand
When you want to install a new module which is available as file only create
the subdirectories in the way described above and place the file there, for
modules which are available as zip files with precreated subdorectories pre-created subdirectories you
can unzip the archive in the top-level directory (e.g. texmf-local/) and all
files are on the correct place.
# want to do that, you have to run mtxrun --generate.
sh ./install.sh
Here is a simplified version of this procedure, tested with MacOS 10.15 on 2020-12-12. There doesn't seem to be any perm issues anymore.
# Synchronize all modules from the ConTeXt Garden in the directory 'modules', which is created if it doesn't exist.
rsync --recursive --links --times --info=progress2,remove,symsafe,flist,del --human-readable --del rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/modules/ modules
# Create the union of all modules in tex/texmf-modules (the directory is created if it doesn't exist).
# If you have personal modules in tex/texmf-modules, they won't be modified.
mkdir -p tex
rsync -rlt --exclude=/VERSION --del modules/*/ tex/texmf-modules
# You may delete the 'module's directory to reclaim some space or keep it to speed up the next update.
# rm -rf modules
# Update the ConTeXt LMTX distribution.
# Alternatively, if you do not want to do that, you have to run mtxrun --generate.
sh ./install.sh

=Contributed Modules=
* [[Math with amsl|amsl]] (AMSmath, see [[Math]])
* [[Gnuplot]]: support for direct inclusion of Gnuplot graphs out of the source (the module has been removed from the main distribution and will be included into third party modules again when ready)
* [[Modules/Karnaugh|Karnaugh]]: draws Karnaugh maps
File names of included modules start with "m-", but third party (contributed) modules should start with "t-".
arguments that a macro defined in the module accepts.
From the interface a good deal of documentation can be auto-generated,
as are for instance the [http://pragma-ade.comnl/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf ConTeXt Quick Reference]
and the initial input of the [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Reference/en Command Reference],
which itself started as a wikification of the now obsolete ''TeXShow''.
