== Installation ==
 
ConTeXt comes from the ''Land of Flowers'' and resembles the flowers as well. It can make '''beautiful''' documents, but you have to use the '''[[Release Notes|fresh, latest]]''' version if possible. If you have [[TeXLive]], [[teTeX]], [[MikTeX]], [[fpTeX]] or a similar system installed, ConTeXt probably already resides on your computer (try running <code>texexec</code> and check how old it is), if not you can download it from [http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm here].
 
* [[Installation hints]]
 
* [[teTeX 3.0 installation]]
