Third party modules in LMTX
I would like to use Wolfgang's t-letter module, but need some help. I found the following instructions: "The ConTeXt suite only comes with Taco's t-bib module. If you want to install a new module, say Wolfgang's t-letter module, you can use first-setup.sh --modules="t-letter" BUT, the LMTX standalone does not have any "first-setup.sh" shell script. Is there another way to install the "t-letter" module for use with LMTX? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Darel

Any help is appreciated.

Attention: I tried to install TiKZ module in my macOS Catalina with this shell script and several folders in my system are deleted. My Context Folder is located at /Applications folder. Is there a safe way to install modules for LMTX. Thanks.

you mean, when you update?
My Context Folder is located at /Applications folder.
Is there a safe way to install modules for LMTX. tex/texmf-fonts
additional fonts, like those you buy or download, for instance under /fonts/data then) tex/texmf-project additional styles, these can go to tex/context/someproject tex/texmf-local tex/texmf-modules for whatever else (you need to run mtxrun --generate after adding files) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
