Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks
Hi Thomas, 1. There is no great issue to install ConTeXt Standalone in /usr/local/context; it's only a simple advice that I gave to put context in such a directory as /home/Document (e.g. : on Linux Ubuntu) in order to make things clear for beginners; and you can install it in /opt/context if you want it. I have installed CTX in /home/MyComputer/context , because the whole documentation and files I want to use are near. Under Windows, ConTeXt is installed in C:\users\MyComputer\Documents\context. As you know, ConTeXt Standalone is a bundle which is self-sufficient (it doesn't need any extra-package, except some more fonts). I don't have tried yet to work with ConTeXt and Perl/Python, because my goal is to understand ConTeXt step by step in order to write a documentation in French (and I am starting from the beginning), starting by the easiest way to code a document and ending by some project structures. 2. commands like 'context --generate' and 'context --make' , typed after this previous one: '. setuptex', allow to build all the trees that you need thereafter, including databases. After that, you have to set your environment variables (in PATH). If you don't do that, you'll see your Linux system complain with such enigmatic formulas as 'ConTeXt is not installed', or 'mtxrun is not installed. You can installed it with apt-get install mtxrun', etc. JP -Mail Original - > De: "Thomas Fehige" <tho...@fehige.de> > À: ntg-context@ntg.nl >experienced in the Linux world either.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks
Thanks Jean-Pierre, and no, you're not carrying owls to Athens, in whatever language. ;) I'm very new to ConTeXt and not all that experienced in the Linux world either. My French is honed on cooking recipes rather than computing and coding, but I was able to follow your page allright. 1. I don't have my standalone ConTeXt tree anywhere under /home/... but in /usr/local/context/..., as suggested on the wiki. Would that make a difference? 2. What do "--generate" and "--make" do? I remember having run them at one occasion or other, but to no avail as to the TeXworks problem. Shouldn't they be run by the installation script anyway? I had managed the fonts database stuff, thanks to the wiki and some trial and error. It was time I learned about environment variables in Linux and Xfce anyway.

If you're having trouble to make context compile a document, try this: - TeXworks tools.ini doesn't need to be edited manually. It's the file where TW saves the settings from " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". - First of all make sure, that you downloaded ConTeXt by using "first-setup.exe" That I did. Not *.exe though, being on a Linux OS, Xubuntu to be precise. - Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all executables) are stored to your system paths: Use your browser to navigate to the said folder, click on the address bar and copy the full path. For me it looks like this: " F:\Sandbox\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin " - Then add this path to your windows system paths: go to your windows control panel, double click " System "-> advanced settings -> environment variables (or something like this), in the lower halfth there is a window with a point " Path ". Double click it and paste your CTX folder pretty much at the top of the section or if there is only one line, add it at the beginning, and use semikolon ( ; ) to seperate it from the rest. Save your settings and you should be good to go. - to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply enter " context.exe --version ". If command line tells you, that no context.exe was found, then you might try to add the context \bin folder to your system paths again Translating this into Linux, all this works fine. - if command line tells you the version of context, then you can proceed: - start TW, " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". There check the upper halfth for the context folder you added to your system paths. If you've added it at the beginning, it should be at the top here as well. Alternatively use the arrows to push context\bin it to the very top NOTE: this is important. if you have MikTeX installed for example and if its folder is listed above your context folder, TW will try to use exe files from the MikTeX folder. so make sure that context\bin is above anything related to tex, context or lua. Thanks for your detailed description, but I'm afraid that's not it. Meanwhile I uninstalled all my texlive packets and reinstalled TeXworks without any of the texlive components, and reinstalled ConTeXt standalone strictly according to this: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ubuntu#With_ConTeXt_Standalone_.E2.80.93_should_work_with_all_Ubuntu_versions -- and the problem persists. mtxrun is found and started allright, but it complains that it can't find some files, that a database is outdated, and that it can't find some other files and stops without a pdf. Below is the complete console output as shown in TeXworks. Calling "context test" in a terminal window works fine, though.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks
Now I uninstalled the texlive version of ConTeXt and did a total new install of the standalone version. That did not help at all. There's something wrong happening within the mtxrun. I added a new "compiler" to TeXworks that only executes the command printenv and it lists the following environment settings: TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex PATH=/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64:/usr/local/context/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64/bin OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts;/home/thomas/.local/share/fonts They look pretty correct to me. But still mtxrun complains: -- ... resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated ... resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) ... mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' -- Clueless greetings -- Thomas Am 09.05.2016 um 13:02 schrieb Thomas Fehige: To prevent misunderstandings: This is /not/ the solution, the problem remains that the newly installed standalone mtxrun doesn't find certain configuration files and complains about an outdated something or other, /when started from within TeXworks/, while everything works fine from the command line.
