[NTG-context] Re: installing modules

I have saved screenshots showing my directory structure below texmf-modules on my onedrive. It is worthwhile exploring the directories within texmf-modules. Have you tried to use any of the modules? I have used the simpleslides module and it was very easy to use. On my machine it is here /Path/to/data/contextmacosarm64/tex/texmf-modules/doc/context/third/simpleslides .You can download two screenshots of the directory structures as they are on my machine using the following link: 2 Items https://1drv.ms/f/s!AlslHuC4_1_eiJggML5um0CWfG4ksw?e=c0gHbN Hope this helps Keith McKay On 03/02/2025 16:44, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

Sorry, I didn’t really check before.

There should be a .tma file for each installed module – you can look into it, it’s just text and contains a lua table.

Did the output of the script look like in Keith’s example, or was there an error message?

Dear Hraban,

Thank you for the advice. I have been very careful and I cd to tex and and checked the syntax. When I typed the - - in macmail it automatically changed it to – but when I entered it in terminal it was right. However I get the same result 0C61CC4610D0FD8A2EBB2454500D59CBCD6936B85FC7841503E045662D0E737C.tma in the resulting modules folder.

Any further thoughts would be appreciated. Charlie

Dear all, I have installed ConTeXt standalone on a macbook pro Monterey OS 12.76 Intel machine (early 2015). I downloaded X86 and after install I get a folder context-osx-64 used sh install.sh and everything seems to work fine with TeXShop. I tried to download the modules using mtxrun --script install-modules -- install —all I get a modules folder with files that are all like the first one below. 0C61CC4610D0FD8A2EBB2454500D59CBCD6936B85FC7841503E045662D0E737C.tma I am obviously doing something silly or using the incorrect syntax.

The only obvious error I see is "-all" instead of "--all".

Did you call the command within the tex folder (below install.sh)? (If not, you should have seen an error message.)
