Revision as of 06:16, 19 October 2011
, 06:16, 19 October 2011Step 3 of ConTeXt installation, the path, added to instructions.
{{Note | You will need admin rights to your Windows to manage the installation process. If you don't have that, get somebody who does.}}
==Download Install ConTeXt==
===Step 1: Get the installer===
Tip: You'll need to run <code>first-setup.bat</code> also to update your ConTeXt and/or to add modules afterwards. One way of making this easier is to copy the Command Prompt shortcut to the ConTeXt folder (e.g. from startup menu). Then right-click the icon, choose Properties and replace the text on the Start In line with your ConTeXt folder location (e.g. C:\context). When you double-click this shortcut, the Command Prompt starts directly in the correct folder and you don't have to remember any file paths (and you can even copy-paste the commands from this wiki page to the command line!).
===Step 3: Add texmf ConTeXt to Windows search path=== You will have to go to the system settings of your Windows and add you will have to add <code>C:\''yourcontextfolder''\tex\texmf-mswin\bin</code> (eg <code>c:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin</code>)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. After you've added the path to system settings, you have to reboot the computer. You can check that the path is there by opening command prompt and typing path If the resulting listing contains the address of your <tt>tex/texmf-mswin/bin</tt> directory, your computer knows where to find ConTeXt.
