If if you got it installed, you next will need a GUI for running ConTeXt, and if some problem arises, you are further away from the solution than ever. :-( Sorry, you can't use TeX in a decent way if you can't use a shell (AKA command line AKA Terminal AKA DOS box). Otherwise we get a system where everything is configured "under the hood" by some administrator - and you are in really bad luck if you happen to be your own newborn administrator and read everywhere "if you don't know what to fill in here, go ask your administrator". Please everyone try to become computer literate! (see also works by Friedrich Kittler) Greetlings from Lake Constance!
