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
first-setup.sh
