[NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist.
I am trying to install a standalone ConTeXt on MacBook. I am doing 
everything exactly as instructed on contextgarden.net, but the 
installation will fail. It seems that the problem is with rsync, with 
copying the installation script first-setup.sh into my Mac. Since I am a 
longtime Windows user and I'm a newbie on OS X, I'd like to find out 
what the problem may be. I dont know nothing about OS X, but I suppose 
that might be a problem with the firewall settings or access rights to 
the directories which  I use to install ConTeXt etc. Can someone please 
advise how to perform the installation? There is an option to download 
the installation package and install ConTeXt differently?

Thanks for replies.

Jaroslav Hajtmar

Hi Jaroslav,

could you explain a bit more what you mean by "the installation will fail”?

What error message do you get at what stage?

You need to make sure that you have write permission to the installation 
directory; anything inside your home directory should be safe.
Also, as a general precaution, make sure the path to your installation 
directory doesn’t contain unusual characters.

Hello Matthias.
Thank you for the quick response. During installation, no error occurs, 
even seems that rsync copied without error message first-setup.sh to my 
%HOME/context directory. When then I look into this directory, then 
there is no file. Subsequently command sudo sh ./first-setup.sh reports 
nonexistent file or directory. I tried to install it into your 
Applications folder too (I have administrative access), but not in this 
way I have not done.


(As you say: home directory should be safe and path no occure any 
problematic characters. My home directory is "hajtmar")


Thanx Jaroslav

[Weber, Matthias]

Here is what I do:

Tetrahedron:ConTeXt matthias$ mkdir ~/context
Tetrahedron:ConTeXt matthias$ cd ~/context
Tetrahedron:context matthias$ rsync -ptv 
rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
first-setup.sh

sent 38 bytes  received 3636 bytes  1469.60 bytes/sec
total size is 3525  speedup is 0.96


and the files are definitely there. Do you have a space in /context directory? 
Then you might need apostrophes.

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Otared Kavian]

Hello Jaroslav,

Here is what I do on my Mac:

1) While in the Finder, create a folder named Context-standalone

2) Put the attached file « first-setup.sh »  in the folder Context-standalone

3) Open Terminal and issue the command

cd [Path-to-the-folder-Context-standalone]

4) Then in Terminal issue the command

ls first-setup.sh

you should see something beginning with:

-rwxr-xr-x  

that is the file has an « x » in its or your rights, that is it is executable.

If this not the case, using the command below make sure it has that right:

chmod +x first-setup.sh

5) Once this is done, issue the command

sh first-setup.sh

6) In principle you should end up with all files necessary for Context working 
in the folder Context-standalone

7) If this is not the case, please report at which step things do not work as 
expected.

Best regards: OK

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello.
Thanks to Otared and Matthias too for their solutions. Otared's method 
is working, Mathias method unfortunaly not working. ConTeXt is already 
installed on my MacBookAir. I dont know why, but It seems that for some 
reason rsync does not download the first-setup.sh file into my 
installation directory. After I put first-setup.sh file manually into 
install directory and then I run the installation script, then 
everything is all right till the end. At this moment, I still struggle 
with settings an appropriate environment variables so that everything 
worked like on my Windows PC installation. Running at (for me) an 
unfamiliar OS-X it is for me still long run (but adventurous) :-).
However installation on my MAC is currently commissioned and 
operational. Thanks for the advices.

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Jaroslav,

On Mac, you can use TeXShop and your standalone Context very easily.
First create a specific « .engine » file for this and then in TeXShop use that 
engine. 
Here is what I have when I typeset a file in TeXShop using mkiv ConTeXt:

% begin file mkiv.engine

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH
context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate "$1" --purgeall

% end file mkiv.engine

you should replace the line « export PATH=…. » by the path to your installation 
of ConTeXt. More precisely you should replace 

/Volumes/OK/context-minimal

with the path going to the folder where your Context installation sits (in your 
case it is where you have put the file first-setup.sh).

Then this file « mkiv.engine » should be put in the folder

Library/TeXShop/Engines


Once this is done, you have three solutions in order to use TeXShop with your 
standalone Context. Here they are: 

Solution 1: add the following line at the top of your source file:

%!TEX TS-program = mkiv

Note that in the above you may replace « mkiv » with whatever engine name known 
to your TeXShop installation (for instance « ContextSuite», or any other name 
you have, or (may God forgive both of us…) even « latex »…). 
When you typeset with ConTeXt, then TeXShop will use the chosen engine.

Solution 2: when your source file is open, you should have, at the top of your 
window, a small menu named « Program ». Click on that menu and among the 
programs (that is the engines) choose the one you want.

Solution 3: open the TeXShop Preferences and in the « Typesetting » pane , on 
the upper left part of the resulting window, choose the radio button « Command 
listed below » and type the name of your preferred engine. This method makes a 
general default, so if you use some other typesetting packages for some files 
you have to modify things for those files.

Best regards: OK

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello Otared.
Thanks for inspiring advice. Be sure that I will try everything setting 
up so that I ConTeXt work as on my PC and Windows. After 25 years of 
using Windows, I would never say that I will experiment with MacBook and 
OS-X. At the moment, I am pleased that I cease to be dependent on any OS 
platform and freely move between multiple computers with different 
operating systems. It's a super feeling that after twenty years, I feel 
that I am not dependent on a particular computer. With most of the 
software I have no problem, I just ConTeXt still missed on the MacBook. 
Now it's all OK.
Thanks for the advice, perhaps maybe I'll ever for you further advice 
about ConTeXt on OS-X.

Hello.
Thanks to Otared and Matthias too for their solutions. Otared's 
method is working, Mathias method unfortunaly not working. ConTeXt is 
already installed on my MacBookAir. I dont know why, but It seems 
that for some reason rsync does not download the first-setup.sh file 
into my installation directory. After I put first-setup.sh file 
manually into install directory and then I run the installation 
script, then everything is all right till the end. At this moment, I 
still struggle with settings an appropriate environment variables so 
that everything worked like on my Windows PC installation. Running at 
(for me) an unfamiliar OS-X it is for me still long run (but 
adventurous) :-).
However installation on my MAC is currently commissioned and 
operational. Thanks for the advices.

Hello Jaroslav,

Here is what I do on my Mac:

1) While in the Finder, create a folder named Context-standalone

2) Put the attached file « first-setup.sh »  in the folder 
Context-standalone


3) Open Terminal and issue the command

cd [Path-to-the-folder-Context-standalone]

4) Then in Terminal issue the command

ls first-setup.sh

you should see something beginning with:

-rwxr-xr-x

that is the file has an « x » in its or your rights, that is it is 
executable.


If this not the case, using the command below make sure it has that 
right:


chmod +x first-setup.sh

5) Once this is done, issue the command

sh first-setup.sh

6) In principle you should end up with all files necessary for 
Context working in the folder Context-standalone


7) If this is not the case, please report at which step things do 
not work as expected.


Best regards: OK

Hello Matthias.
Thank you for the quick response. During installation, no error 
occurs, even seems that rsync copied without error message 
first-setup.sh to my %HOME/context directory. When then I look into 
this directory, then there is no file. Subsequently command sudo sh 
./first-setup.sh reports nonexistent file or directory. I tried to 
install it into your Applications
