I want to try the t-letter module. I have a fresh install of ConTeXt LMTX from today. The page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules has sections "Installation by hand" and "ConTeXt standalone", but no section on ConTeXt LMTX.

The section on ConTeXt standalone mentions a --modules switch to first-setup.sh in order to include modules. This cannot work with the install.sh from ConTeXt LMTX, as it does not pass any command line arguments to mtxrun.

As far as I understand there is no built-in method. You have to install them manually. Relevant thread:

Thank you. That pointed into the right direction. The thread contains a little script to get all modules (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/097023.html). However, the script does not really work. (In every iteration of the loop of the script, the --delete to rsync deletes the files of the module from the previous iteration. Just omitting the --delete would not be correct, either.) Using the information from the script, I wrote, tested, and wikified something else (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX).
