Hello.
Thanks to Otared and Matthias too for their solutions. Otared's method
is working, Mathias method unfortunaly not working. ConTeXt is already
installed on my MacBookAir. I dont know why, but It seems that for some
reason rsync does not download the first-setup.sh file into my
installation directory. After I put first-setup.sh file manually into
install directory and then I run the installation script, then
everything is all right till the end. At this moment, I still struggle
with settings an appropriate environment variables so that everything
worked like on my Windows PC installation. Running at (for me) an
unfamiliar OS-X it is for me still long run (but adventurous) :-).
However installation on my MAC is currently commissioned and
operational. Thanks for the advices.

Hello Jaroslav,
Here is what I do on my Mac:
1) While in the Finder, create a folder named Context-standalone
2) Put the attached file « first-setup.sh » in the folder Context-standalone
3) Open Terminal and issue the command
cd [Path-to-the-folder-Context-standalone]
4) Then in Terminal issue the command
ls first-setup.sh
you should see something beginning with:
-rwxr-xr-x
that is the file has an « x » in its or your rights, that is it is executable.
If this not the case, using the command below make sure it has that right:
chmod +x first-setup.sh
5) Once this is done, issue the command
sh first-setup.sh
6) In principle you should end up with all files necessary for Context working
in the folder Context-standalone
7) If this is not the case, please report at which step things do not work as
expected.
Best regards: OK

Hello Matthias.
Thank you for the quick response. During installation, no error occurs, even
seems that rsync copied without error message first-setup.sh to my
%HOME/context directory. When then I look into this directory, then there is no
file. Subsequently command sudo sh ./first-setup.sh reports nonexistent file or
directory. I tried to install it into your Applications folder too (I have
administrative access), but not in this way I have not done.
(As you say: home directory should be safe and path no occure any problematic characters.
My home directory is "hajtmar")
Thanx Jaroslav

Hi Jaroslav,
could you explain a bit more what you mean by "the installation will fail”?
What error message do you get at what stage?
You need to make sure that you have write permission to the installation
directory; anything inside your home directory should be safe.
Also, as a general precaution, make sure the path to your installation
directory doesn’t contain unusual characters.

Hello ConTeXist.
I am trying to install a standalone ConTeXt on MacBook. I am doing everything
exactly as instructed on contextgarden.net, but the installation will fail. It
seems that the problem is with rsync, with copying the installation script
first-setup.sh into my Mac. Since I am a longtime Windows user and I'm a newbie
on OS X, I'd like to find out what the problem may be. I dont know nothing
about OS X, but I suppose that might be a problem with the firewall settings or
access rights to the directories which I use to install ConTeXt etc. Can
someone please advise how to perform the installation? There is an option to
download the installation package and install ConTeXt differently?
Thanks for replies.
