I installed MacTeX without problem, and then tried to follow the instructions for Standalone ConTeXt. At the end of Section 3.2 on that page, when I tried to execute the command:
sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex
it ran for a minute or so, but ultimately gave me the error message copied below.
