{{note | You probably 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 ConTeXt standalone distribution (Mark IV).

==Chapter 1: Detect Windows 32 or 64 bit 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==

 Type in "cd.. " -> Enter ->  Once again type in "cd.. " -> Enter Now you are should be at path "C:\". If not, repeat "cd.." Type in "cd context" 

This should print out much output and take a while (maybe 5 mins). 

(Please also note [https://superuser.com/questions/284342/what-are-path-and-other-environment-variables-and-how-can-i-set-or-use-them]) You will have to go to the system settings of your Windows and add you will have to add <tt>C:\context\tex\texmf-win64\bin</tt> (or <tt>C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin</tt> for using <tt>context-setup-mswin.zip</tt>) to the search path (environment variable <tt>path</tt> under advanced system properties). If you are the only user on the computer needing ConTeXt, you can put it under "user variables", otherwise add it to the existing search path listing"global variables".

Right click on "Dieser PC" or "this PCThis Computer" and select "Eigenschaften/Settings".Then on the left side, click on "erweiterte Systemeinstellungen/extended change my environment variables" or something like "Extended Settings".

In the small popup "Systemeigenschaften/System settings" select the slider "Erweitert/extended".Select the button "Umgebungsvariablen/environment Environment variables".

Now you have ConTeXt. To complement itHello, 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.)world!

There's a SciTe included in your ConTeXt Suite, but you'll get less hassle with user rights and such if you use [httpsSave the document as <tt>C://www\context\helloworld.ebswift.comtex</scite-text-editor-installer.html Windows installer for SciTe]. Keep accepting everything it suggests and you'll get a very standard Windows program installed without any hassle. I recommend not using the 'context menu' during setup (you can right-click any text file (html, php, tex, txt) and give command "Edit with SciTe in New Tab" or "Edit with SciTe in New Window"tt>.)

===Step 2Open the file explorer and browse to <tt>C: Fetch and install lexer add-in===\context\</tt>.Check if there is a helloworld.pdf. Open it to check its content.

Locate your SciTE installationNow you have ConTeXt. To complement it, typically C:\Program Files\SciTE\ for Windows for Linuxi.e.Move the 'lexers' directory to easily write and compile ConTeXt files, install the root of your SciTE installationTeXworks editor.

Also leave ===Step 1: Get TeXworks===Browse to [http://www.tug.org/texworks/ http://www.tug.org/texworks/]and download the SciTe program folder openexe file and execute it to install TeXworks. You'll need it next!

==Adjust SciTe During installation, I recommend to work with ConTeXt==register (only) ".tex" files to the application. Disable the other ones.

=== Copy setup files =Step 2: Ready, steady, test!==Start TeXWorks.

Go to <tt>C:\context\tex\tex\texmf-context\context\data\scite\context\lexers</tt>. Copy everything from this folder to your SciTe program lexers folder. If you only plan to use SciTe for ConTeXt, you can replace all files. If you want to keep all In the existing functionalitydropdown, copy the subfolder contents by hand, but make sure you get everything.select "ConTeXt (LuaTex)"

import lexers/lpeg\starttextimport scite-context-userHello, world! \stoptext

Save the document as <tt>helloworld.tex</tt>. Now click on the green button to build your file. After there are some lines of compiler output, a pdf file should open and save you should see your "hello world". =Other ConTeXt distributions={{note | This part needs to be checked if it is still up-to-date in 2019 }} As a Windows user, you can choose between the filefollowing installation alternatives: * ConTeXt standalone distribution * MikTeX * Texlive * W32TeX  =Literature=[http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2008/talks/2008-08-21-willi-aditya-beginners/Tutorial-text.pdf Aditya Mahajan, Willi Egger: Beginners Tutorial ConTeXt.
