Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
Charles---this is very helpful and much appreciated. Alan I created a .profile containing the line source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex and put it in Macintosh HD/Users/alancbowen/Library OK, the source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex should be the path to YOUR context minimals (the /path/to/blablabla is commonly understood among UNIX users as meaning substitute the path to my thingy here. OK I know where your TeXshop files are (under your Library dir tree) but I don't know where the ConTeXt minimals were installed on your machine. I have not installed minimals because the TeXLive distribution with MacTeX has served me satisfactorily to date. As the wiki says, all the required files are in the /Applications/ ConTeXtMinimals folder. Please locate the folders context/tex/setuptex and context/tex in the place where the minimals install put them. Are they under your home dir or are they under /usr/local? I do not seem to have a setuptex folder on my box---at least I have not been able to find one under either /usr/local or /Users/ alancbowen/. And there certainly is none in /Applications/ ConTeXtMinimals (as seems to be expected). Figure out the FULL pathname from root, e.g., /usr/local/context/tex/setuptex or whatever it is. Put those full pathnames into the source line. Now, your .profile file goes in your home dir, /Users/alancbowen. The Bourne-again shell, bash, must find that file in your home dir when you login. OK /Users/alancbowen is how the UNIX side of OS X sees you, not Macintosh HD/Users/alancbowen/Library. That's how Aqua things see you. They both work, but UNIX creates a virtual environment off of a root /, that in turn has Mac dirs like Applications, Users, and so on. /Users on the Mac corresponds to /home on other Unix-like systems. And this brings up a good point. With UNIX pathnames, you have two alternatives for spaces in pathnames, e.g., from your home dir: ~/The Directory/and/its leaves ~/The\ Directory/and/its\ leaves Thanks for the clarification. HTH Charles But, sad to say, I get the same error when I try to typeset my “Hello World!” file using the™ minimals: /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex: line 75: cd: / Applications/ ConTeXtMinimals/context: No such file or directory The argument is not a valid TEXROOT path.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
Here's a start: What's in your path? Typing set in the terminal window should tell you. Second, did you add source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex to your ~/.profile You need to have the source work from when you log in, and that happens in the .profile, not the .bashrc. That way, stuff under Aqua see the right environment. If you just do cmdline, then .bashrc is OK. That's similar to GNOME under Linux/BSD. See what happens after you do that.
