For sure! My environment looks as follows: export CONTEXT_HOME=/opt/context export PATH="$PATH:...:$CONTEXT_HOME/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:..." The /opt/context directory is a symbolic link, which eases switching between versions: I seldom have to change the environment variables settings. So, your suggestions should be included as a separate script and not as > part of the default. Then there is the question of providing an uninstall > script as well... > Using a ConTeXt-specific environment variable (e.g., LMTX_HOME) would make uninstalling a matter of removing it from the PATH and registry (on Windows, anyway). Here are the current instructions: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/blob/master/docs/typesetting.md#windows Is there a way we can eliminate steps 3 - 6 for Windows installs?
