ConTeXt Minimal Installer for Windows

ConTeXt Minimal Installer for Windows

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

New version of ConTeXt Installer for Windows is available (v1.4).

It is a GUI wizard of small size (< 2MB), which downloads latest context 
distribution, sets PATH for binaries, and generates format files. Then 
ConTeXt works out-of-the-box.

Together with TeXWorks tool, it takes a few minutes from beginning of 
installation to writing your first document.

Works fine for all Windows versions.

Known issues:
On my Windows 8 machine, post-install 'make' fails, but it can be run 
manually then.

Thanks to Mojca for her help.

Regards,
Vaytcheslav

good news;

is it possible to add an option to NOT add path to Ctx binaries to PATH?

This may collide with TeXLive users, and also when one switches among more Ctx versions.

BTW: Where the new installer is available?

Best regards,

Lukas

Localization

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi

I want figure names to be 'Рисунок #' instead of 'Figure #'.

If I remember right, it was
\language[ru]
that did the localization. But I get 'Figure'.

How to localize figure names?

Regards,
Vaytcheslav

Use \mainlnaguage[ru].


The commands are supposed to be used in this form:

\mainlanguage[…] % changes labels and global hyphenation patterns

\starttext
text in main language {\language[…]Text in another language} and again main language
\stoptext

We'll call it Suite once I do some further modifications (that will be
incompatible with the current distribution).

Is that so? I'd missed that.
Should I add "change references to 'ConTeXt Standalone' into 'ConTeXt
Suite'" to the wiki's todo-list, for someone to pick up when they have
the time?

OK, thanks...

One note - "ContextMinimalInstall.exe" should rather be named "ContextStandaloneInstall.exe" or "ContextSuiteInstall.exe"... as "ConTeXt Suite" is (now) the preferred name...

There is such an option, uncheck "Set environment variables globally".

 >BTW: Where the new installer is available?

I hope it will be added to new server distribution folder. (I asked 
Mojca for that).

Meanwhile, use this temporary link
