Hi Tommaso, my ConTeXt LMTX is fully functional and I get this message too.
Also, I created the TeXShop engine as indicated on the page (I've done it before with no problems). However, now when I run LMTX from editor to compose a source, the source is compiled with MkIV Standalone, which I have in another folder (/Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-MkIV). LMTX doesn't even work from a terminal, of course.
I’m on Linux, so no TeXShop here. BTW, I’m not sure "luametatex" may work as you intend (without any format file).
The curious thing is that even by launching the ConTeXt present in TeX Live, what really works is always MkIV Standalone.
I don‘t think ConTeXt from TeX Live includes LMTX (https://ctan.org/search?phrase=luametatex).
Do you have any idea where I might have gone wrong?
My guess is that when you invoke ConTeXt, you are running it from TeX Live (or from other than the wiki installation). To check that, what do you get from "which context"? Which is your output from "context --version"? My system reads: mtx-context | current version: 2023.02.07 19:06 When in doubt run the following (given the paths you provided): cd ~/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-LMTX/ sh ./install.sh cd && context --version And you should get what my system reads (unless there is an update today). I hope it helps, Pablo
