Hi Richard,

...

1. Install Ruby

right

2. Install Perl

I think, Perl is not needed anymore.

Download

http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/minimals-snapshot-mswin.zip

...

I unzip it in c:\, you get c:\context\texmf-context and some more

directories

...

3. Download cont-tmf.zip and unzip contents to <installdir>

make c:\context\texmf-context empty and unzip cont-tmf.zip into it

4. Set environment variables: OSFONTDIR = C:\WINDOWS\Fonts TEXMF = <installdir>\scripts\context\stubs\mswin TEXMFCACHE = C:\TEMP TEXMFCNF = <installdir>\web2c TEXMFOS = ?????? others ????

no, go to c:\context an run setuptex.bat

I have an icon on my desktop with: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K cd c:\context && .\setuptex.bat

5. From command window, run installation scripts: mktexlsr luatools --generate luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate texexec --make (for mkii) context --make (for mkiv)

open a terminal window c: enter cd context enter setuptex enter

the above commands should now work without errors

...

6. To generate new pdf run: context --pdf myfile.tex

You have to run setuptex.bat in c:\context before you can compile

texfiles

...

I automated this for the terminal and for the Scite Editor.

7. Anything else I've missed ????

...

That should do it

For updating luatex, download ftp://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac. jp/pub/TeX/win32/luatex-dev-w32.tar.bz2 and unzip the files in bin into c:\context\texmf-mswin\bin. After that run context --make

You're welcome

Greetings Lutz

Thank-you very much for the above. Still a few problems though!

I have installed it to C:\tools\context. Everything goes well until 'mktexlsr' which returns: Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-project/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-fonts/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-extra/ls-R to write. because the folders do not exist. So I've created empty folders just in case and no more warnings!

Then all goes well until 'context --pdf myfile.tex' which returns: luatex.exe: c:/tools/context/texmf-cache/tuatex-cache/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt:

tuatex-cache ? copy&paste error or a typo in your environment variable? btw: the option --pdf is no longer needed, as pdf is the default output format Best wishes, Peter

No such file or directory MtxRun | fatal error, code 1

and 'texexec --pdf myfile.tex' returns: c:\tools\context\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:8603: attempt to concatenate a nil value

Any ideas?

Richard
