🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to mtx-install(1) — the ConTeXt Installer manual page. That's the whole name situation: mtx-install is the page title, and it's giving ConTeXt Installer energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Run it through mtxrun like this:

mtxrun --script install [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

So yeah: mtxrun, then --script install, then whatever OPTIONS and FILENAMES you're bringing to the function. 🫶
