I got errors, but then I updated the application 'TeX Live Utility' in 
/Applications/TeX/, and then it worked.

So run this program, and also regularly for updates.

Even though the distribution is only released once a year, it is possible to 
keep packages up-to-date.

which says that context could not find a format, so it tried to generate 
one, but none of the given directories were writable. I don't know why 
mtxrun is trying to write in a /systemd-private directory.


If I disable the colord.service through systemd, then context format is 
generated correctly, and context can compile the file. Once the format has 
been generated, the colord.service can be enabled again and the context 
compiles correctly.


So, I'll say that the arch version of texlive also works out of the box.

  Yes, and nobody is saying anything to the contrary.  It is a bug that
it is not working; not a deliberate action, or evidence of sectarian
behaviour.

  Actually, rather than bothering Mojca who is already overburdened, you
should report it to the TeX Live list (http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-live)
where you’ll be able to reach the people responsible for TeX Live, and
many more.  

Best,

Arthur

Sorry, I have no clue what is going on with that systemd folder either. 
Last time I had anything to do with it, Mojca did the context-for-tl 
stuff, I assume that is still the case, and she is also on a mac 
normally. Perhaps she can help...


That was a distribution screw up. I did the following test using docker:

1. Install full texlive (it is a 3 GB install!)

$docker pull sumdoc/texlive-2017

2. Run Docker (here /tmp/context folder contained a few context files)

$docker run -it -v /tmp/context:/home -w /home sumdoc/texlive-2017 
/bin/bash


3. On the docker prompt, run

#context test.tex

Context regenerated the formats and compiled the files.

So context works out of the box on texlive 2017. How to make sure that 
texlive distributions on major linux distributions work out of the box is 
a separate issue. I am not sure what archlinux is doing differently that a 
systemd service for setting color profiles is being called.
