{{note | This is still work in progressYou 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".

There's a SciTe included in your ConTeXt Suite, but you'll get less hassle with user rights and such if you use [https:\stoptext<//www.ebswift.com/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".)pre>

===Open command prompt and go to c:\context (as we did at 'Install ConTeXt' - Step 2: Fetch and install lexer add-)type in===<pre>context helloworld.tex</pre>

The up-to-date ConTeXt version uses ''external lexers'And that' s it, basically. If you got your pdf and for that love to write using this editor, you have to [http://foicicacan continue this way.com/scintillua/download Download the lexer add-in zip] (just get the top-most file of those listed in the download directory)Still I'd recommend using TeXworks.

Locate your SciTE installation, typically C==Chapter 4:\Program Files\SciTE\ for Windows for Linux.Move the 'lexers' directory to the root of your SciTE installation.Install TeXworks==

Also leave Now you have ConTeXt. To complement it, i.e. to easily write and compile ConTeXt files, install the SciTe program folder openTeXworks editor. You'll need it next!

==Adjust SciTe to work with ConTeXt=Step 1: Get TeXworks===Browse to [http://www.tug.org/texworks/ http://www.tug.org/texworks/]and download the exe file and execute it to install TeXworks.

=== Copy setup During installation, I recommend to register (only) ".tex" files ===to the application. Disable the other ones.

Go to <tt>C==Step 2:\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 ConTeXtReady, you can replace all files. If you want to keep all the existing functionalitysteady, copy the subfolder contents by hand, but make sure you get everythingtest!==Start TeXWorks.

Open SciTe. Go Now you are ready to the <code>Options</code> menu and choose <code>Open Global Options File</code>go. Scroll all the way to then end of the file and write Type in:

and save Save the filedocument as <tt>helloworld.tex</tt>.

Close/restart SciTeNow click on the green button to build your file.

==ReadyAfter there are some lines of compiler output, steady, test!==a pdf file should open and you should see your "hello world".

Now you are ready =Other ConTeXt distributions={{note | This part needs to go. Start SciTE and open a ConTeXt document (be checked if you have any) or try with a simple "Hello world":it is still up-to-date in 2019 }}
