Your problem has nothing to do with your above description!
You was talking about Terminal (i.e. bash), not ConTeXt!
Step 5. In Terminal, type context --make and press Enter/Return.
This yields: MtxRun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-
context.lua'
Then I cd-ed stepwuse up to /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-
context/scripts/context/lua, after each cd trying to perform step 5,
and then finally I got:
...
But for example cont-en.tex does exist on my Mac and it sits in
texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
These files are not found. So I am a bit at a loss at what to try
next.
The page "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation
" that you seem to follow states:
"This page describes an alternative of installing ConTeXt Minimals on
Mac OS X. In particular it describes how to configure some GUI
applications to work well with minimals.
(For command-line gurus it is enough to follow the three steps
described in ConTeXt Minimals.)"
The part "For command-line gurus" is misleading. Stay with
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals
Never install under /Applications if you don't know what you do!
Always install in your home folder; you'll run in less permission
problems.
Open a new Terminal window (shell). You're in your home folder (~) now.
Create the context folder and change into it:
$ mkdir context
$ cd context
(Leave out the $, that's your shell prompt!)
Download first-setup.sh:
$ curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
Make it executable:
$ chmod a+x first-setup.sh
Run it and go make tea:
$ sh ./first-setup.sh
Run the path setup:
$ ./tex/setuptex
ConTeXt should work now (i.e. at this moment in this shell window);
you need to run the path setup with every new shell (i.e. Terminal)
window; to automate that, you can add the "setuptex" command to your
"profile", that's a script that gets called with every new shell window.
$ cd
$ echo "sh ~/context/tex/setuptex" >> .bash_profile
Are there any remaining problems?
I'll change the Wiki now.
