== Compiling ==
After you've done all that, you can finally use your favourite editor to write your [[First Document|first document]].
To compile it, open the command line again (Start -> Run ... -> type '''cmd''' or '''command''') and run
texexec yourfilename

# Download the ConTeXt Standalone [http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip here]
# Run <code>first-setup.bat</code> from the command line. By default, this will download the beta version. If you want the stable version, add <code>--context=current</code>
# It is probably a good idea to make sure ConTeXt is visible from the PATH. In Windows 7, you should go to System > Advanced > Environment Variables and add <code>C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin</code> to your user PATH, assuming you put your ConTeXt folder in <code>C:\</code>. This will allow to run ConTeXt from the command line anywhere, using <code>context filename.tex</code>.
# Install the [http://www.tug.org/texworks/ TexWorks] standalone and accept the default options upon installation.
# Go to Preferences > Typesetting and add the directory where <code>context.exe</code> is located. It is the same one you added to your PATH.
## Next, under Processing Tools, create a new one and call it anything you want. In the Progream field, enter the path of <code>context.exe</code>, the same as above. In the Arguments section, add <code>$fullname</code> and you are done.
# Now populate the screen with ConTeXt code, select ConTeXt and press Typeset. A PDF screen should pup up with the document.
