Hi, It is interesting (and a bit depressing) that my TL2018 install worked out of the box on my mac. Mine was a straight ‘tlnet’ install, but I did install into a directory where I have write permissions. Mostly so I would not have to mess with sudo, but I now suspect that made a big

Hi Hans, Thanks for your attention and your remarks, which are full of good sense. My point, as confirmed by Aditya, is that context should work without any other user intervention when TL is installed. I got your point about writing to MOjca: I'll do that off list to see whether this can be

Hi Aditya, Your experiment confirms what I experienced last week with various types of operating systems, and today on my Mac with MacTeX 2018, which is just an installer of TL2018 dedicated to MacOS. Best regards: OK > On 6 Jun 2018, at 17:20, Aditya Mahajan wrote: > > Hi Otared, > > On

Hi Taco, Actually context, luatex, lualatex and latex are all installed by TL2018 but the only one NOT working is context. This discourages many people to experiment with context before installing a standalone version. Best regards: OK > On 6 Jun 2018, at 17:19, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > >

Hi Otared, Since it works for me just fine (TL2018), a wild guess is that the installed TeXLive did not install the context scheme at all? Best wishes, Taxo > On 6 Jun 2018, at 16:54, Otared Kavian wrote: > > Hi all, > > I would like to report (with a rather bad humor) on an issue
