Re: [NTG-context] LMTX install

Linux Mint 21 and yes, followed precisely the instructions on the wiki page. mtxrun is executable. Not sure why this has to be so difficult but it is not working. Julian On 23/5/21 5:53 pm, Bruce Horrocks wrote:

Someone will quickly clarify what I am doing wrong here. Have used mkiv until now but decided to download and install LMTX in /home/me/bin/context.

I then ran export PATH=/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH as the install script indicated at the end.

When running mk iv, I always first ran a setup line (in my case it was . /home/me/Documents/Freedom/Context/tex/setuptex). Do I need to run a setup also for LMTX installed as above? And what one, because there is no 'setuptex' as far as I can see. If I just run context myfile.tex I get the mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' message. Does this mean my 'path' command didn't work (and why not? It should have) or do I still need to run a setup before I try to compile? You don't say which Linux you are using so I would first check to see that /home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun is executable.

I assume that you followed the instructions on the wiki page here? https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation

(Sorry to be so pedantic but it helps us to know exactly what you have done.)
