Installation of modules ======================= Basics –––––– The installation of extra files in TeX (called modules in ConTeXt) can be hard for people how are new in TeX or aren't interested in TeX programming themselve. According to the TDS (TeX directory structure) and the ConTeXt developers user written files reside under the path $TEXMF/tex/context/third/<modulename>/<files> in the private TeX directory ($TEXMF), private directories can have the names • texmf-local • texmf-extra • texmf-project but there existence depend on the TeX distribution and texmf-local is the most common one. Installation by hand –––––––––––––––––––– When you want to install a new module which is available as file only create the subdirectories in the way described above and place the file there, for modules which are available as zip files with precreated subdorectories you can unzip the archive in the top-level directory (e.g. texmf-local/) and all files are on the correct place. After the files are placed at the right place you have to update TeX's database to let it know where it can find the files, this is done for MkII with mktexlsr (command name depends on the TeX distribution) and for MkIV with context --generate ConTeXt minimals –––––––––––––––– Users of the ConTeXt minimals dont't have to download the module files and unzip them in the local directory because they can use the 'first-setup' for this. To install for example the simpleslides modules you write first-setup.sh --extras="t-simpleslides" To install more modules at the same time write first-setup.sh --extras="t-simpleslides,t-french" The complete list of availables modules in minimals is: • f-urwgaramond • f-urwgothic • t-account • t-algorithmic • t-bib • t-bnf • t-chromato • t-cmscbf • t-cmttbf • t-construction-plan • t-degrade • t-fixme • t-french • t-games • t-gnuplot • t-layout • t-letter • t-lettrine • t-lilypond • t-mathsets • t-simplefonts • t-simpleslides • t-taspresent • t-tikz • t-typearea • t-typescripts • t-vim TeX Live –––––––– # description required The following modules are available: • context-account • context-bnf • context-chromato • context-construction-plan • context-degrade • context-french • context-games • context-gnuplot • context-letter • context-lettrine • context-lilypond • context-mathsets • context-simpleslides • context-taspresent • context-typearea • context-vim
