== Step 1: Install / Update '''ConTeXt''' == Installation and update work nearly the same. If you only want to update ConTeXt you can start directly from point 3.
1. [http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/ Download] ConTeXt.
4. Navigate to where you extracted the ConTeXt archive.
* The easiest way to Since at this point the installation and update of ConTeXt work the same, you should create a batch file. To do so :** use Windows Explorer to navigate to your ConTeXt directory. In there should be a file called <code>first-setup.bat</code>.** Use Windows Notepad or <code>Right-click</code> -> '''New''' -> '''Textfile''' to create such.** Write or paste the following line into the batch file: first-setup -engine=luatex -modules=all** Save the batch file and name it something like <code>update.bat</code>.*** '''Note''' that the document ending has to be <code>.bat</code> not <code>.txt</code> or anything else.** Execute the batch file you just created by double-clicking on it. A Windows command prompt should pop up.***If it appears for only a few seconds, chances are high that the download server is down. In that case you might want to re-try the procedure at some other time.** Wait for the download / update tofinish. After it is done, the command window should disappear by itself. The whole ConTeXt folder's size should be around 380 - 400 MB when everything worked fine.* Another method of installing or updating ConTeXt is the following:** use Use Windows Explorer to navigate to your ConTeXt directory,.** click Click in the upper white field with the current locationis displayed.** enter Enter <code>cmd</code> and press <code>Enter</code>-key.
** Now Windows command prompt should pop up with the correct location.
* Otherwise do it the old fashioned way; by typing. Some DOS commands you might need:
** <code>X:</code> change to drive X:
** <code>dir</code> list the content of the current directory
