These instructions should get the basic ConTeXt installed:

It is the other things that usually cause the problems though.

I am planning to update the installation instructions on the ConTeXt Garden Wiki.  The short answer is: no, not yet.  Are you planning a single-user or system-wide installation?  Do you plan to use SciTE or some other editor?  Are you using CygWin?  Send me the errors and some more details on you installation. I might be able to help.

Dear Group,
I am a Mac user and have had many happy years using ConTeXt. I now need to install ConTeXt on a PC (Windows) and this has been troublesome. Is anybody able to point me to a foolproof method?

(I started this mail with all of our errors but reasoned that somebody might know the answer to the more simple question.)

Thanks in advance.
