[NTG-context] Install minimal context distribution
Dear Context-ers, I would like to install the minimal context distribution, but have no idea of which zip files to download and how to configure the system. I have seen that there are many zip files in the Pragma website : justtex.zip, cont-bas.zip, cont-tmf.zip, linuxtex.zip. Any advice on setting up a minimal system to use Context will be appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] Difficulties using the r module
I can confirm that this works from the command line:
R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore rsample-r-1.tmp rsample-r-1.tmp.out
using the sample file from the r module. Running this command for each of the r
segments will produce the desired output. What I haven't determined is how to
modify the r module \runR command. Simply replacing the current \runR with
\def\runR {\executesystemcommand{texmfstart
--ifchanged=\Rfile\space --direct R CMD BATCH
-q --save --restore \Rfile\space \Rfile.out}}
was not successful. But I'm quite unfamilier with ConTeXt at this level.
As far as I can determine, the appropriate .out files are not being created,
which the log file correctly indicates. The .tmp files are successfully
extracted
from the source file.
Thanks for the help with this.

Re: [NTG-context] Difficulties using the r module
I now discovered a side effect of using the R CMD BATCH invocation
instead of the piping. With the CMD R outputs the setting of options
in the first line and the result of proc.time at the end. Perhaps not
a problem, but it does require three more typed lines per R block.

I get no such output, either to stdout or in the log, in fact nothing

This means that write18 is disabled on your system, so tex cannot
execute any system commands. This is a security feature and most
intallation disable write18 by default. You need to edit your
texmf.cnf file to enable it. Search for texmf.cnf using
texmfstart --locate texmf.cnf
open that file in your favourite editor.
Search for shell_escape and set it to true by
shell_escape = t
Save the file and write18 should work.
Rerun texexec on your file and look at the log file. You should get
system() executed.

Of course, this revealed a new problem. texmfstart was not being called correctly. Replacing texmfstart with: ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb , which is my path to texmfstart.rb, in \runR solved the problem. I had followed the Other method from the ConTeXt wiki for enabling texmfstart on my system. This works fine for calling commands from the command line, but (as suggested in the wiki) doesn't necessarily work for other methods. Once I sort out all of these OS X specific details, I'll post back to my original message with a solution.

1) In the first figure [square], control the relation of the front and

face coordinates, I can use z' for the rear face and define z' as a
function of z. Then the angle of the z111--z'111 diagonal wrt the x-axis
will change, and the label for that axis will have to change as well. I've
been manually calculating inverse tangents to do this but can it be done
automatically?

After following those instructions, everything should be ok except

This script creates copies of the scripts and has to be run each time

Whenever you make copies Murphy's law says the two versions will diverge.

The advantage of this approach is that you run the latest script

updated scripts to the bin directory. I use runtexmfjar for
JabRef.jar, which lives in texmf-local/scripts.
