I had https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl this module working fine, but ran and update, and somehow it deleted my extra files. I can't figure out how I was able to get it working in the first place--I had just copied all the files to a folder somewhere. What is the correct way to install an unofficial ConTeXt module, such as this one? --Joel
While testing the module, I would copy the .mkiv and .lua files to my
ConTeXt MkIV directory (on Windows with the TeXLive distribution, this was
C:\texlive\2021\texmf-dist\tex\context\base\mkiv) and then run
context --make
to apply the updates.
If there is some other preferred way to do this, I'm sure someone can
correct me. Otherwise, I hope this helps!

What is the correct way to install an unofficial ConTeXt module
Right now with LMTX, the only way to install modules is to manually copy files. I believe that the typical location to store module files is "TEXMFMODULES", but "TEXMFLOCAL" or "TEXMFHOME" should also work. To get the folder location, in a Unix shell run: mtxrun --variables | grep -A4 'lists | TEXMFMODULES' or in PowerShell run: mtxrun --variables | sls 'lists \| TEXMFMODULES' -co 0,4 Then you should copy all of the module's files to the "res: " directory found above. Make sure to run mtxrun --generate after you copy over the files. I haven't tested any of this specifically with the SBL module, but I've followed this procedure successfully with many other modules. -- Max
