I'm just following some of the standalone installation instructions as per the wiki alongside a TeX Live installation, but there are a few things that don't add up or I can't seem to add them up :).
first, while I was trying to mtxrun --generate it returned
/usr/bin/env texlua no such file or directory
So I thought heck, perhaps by creating a symbolic link we'll call it a day, but that wasn't enough, nope.
This is is circa 21st century ladies and gentlemen!
so I thought, alright, since there seems ot be a a problem with texlua, let's also add it to path somehow.
Did you source the `setuptex` script, which sets the correct path.
So with that out of the way, we'll move on to the next step and change to a directory and try to call out mtxrun --generate again
It returns:
mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/home/ce/context/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable
This appears to be the wrong mtxrun binary. You should include the PATH variable listed as part of the installation. It should point to `/home/ce/context/texmf-linux-64/bin` or something similar.

Is there any rationale not to have texmfcnf.lua alongside context.cnf and contextcnf.lua under web2c with the current standalone installation? Because on TeX Live infrastructure alone, I have my doubts that that file will be somehow generated magically. would it? Of course I could probably scrounge it off somewhere but it's also besides the point On the current installation of a standalone relying solely on what tewmf/webc holds is… well.
