Hi Gerben,
Mkii and Mkiv are to different animals and live side by side.
You do not need to change your TeX setup at all!
All you need to do is change the call to start the processing.
Mkiv can be called with the context …
or
mtxrun -script context …
What I do not know is in what kind of „environment you are working in.
MacOS or Terminal, or Xquartz( aka X11), because you could even install
ConTeXt Standalone! and us it all of them side by side!
If you use the Standalone you need to setup the Paths properly though.
There is a shell script that helps with this if you are working directly in the „Unix“-
environment.
If you use TeXShop, it is easy enough, just switch the Engine in the editor.
and typeset!! For TexWorks it should be similiar.
I do not believe there are step by step instructions for going from mkii to mkiv.
To my knowledge most mkii code should run under mkiv!
Yet, you can do many things easier in mkiv than in mkii!
But, I think you know one step: make a copy of your project and work on that!! ;))
Hope this helps
Keith
