{{note | This is still work in progressNOTE: You will need admin rights to your Windows to manage the installation process. If you don't have that, get somebody who does. }}
This instruction was written 2019 April 13 and is intended to install Context (Mark IV).
My intent is to deliver a up-to-date manual that every noob can use, and not to refer to old versions (e.g. from 2011).
==Chapter 1: Detect Windows Version==At fist, get to know if I’m Running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.Please follow [https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21726/how-do-i-know-if-im-running-32-bit-or-64-bit-windows-answers/ https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21726/how-do-i-know-if-im-running-32-bit-or-64-bit-windows-answers/] or other tutorials. ==Chapter 2: Install ConTeXt==
===Step 1: Download and unzip the installer===
This step is an alternative to run setuptex.bat which is located in C:\context\tex\
==Chapter 3: Test ConTeXt==
Now you are ready to test ConTeXt. Start a simple text editor, or Notepad++, or whatever. Create a simple "Hello world":
==Chapter 4: Install SciTe==
Now you have ConTeXt. To complement it, i.e. to easily write and compile ConTeXt files, install the SciTe editor. It is a nifty open source editor that, with some adjustments, will be able to highlight ConTeXt code and run ConTeXt from inside the editor. (And it is pretty useful for e.g. html and php editing, too.)
Also leave the SciTe program folder open. You'll need it next!
==Chapter 5: Adjust SciTe to work with ConTeXt==
=== Copy setup files ===
Now press Ctrl+F12 to process your file and auto-open the resulting pdf in your default pdf reader (most often Adobe Acrobat Reader). The first run will take a while, but if things starts happening, you probably have working ConTeXt.
