Good day,
I'm very new to ConTeXt, so maybe this is a fairly simple question.
I want to use TikZ in the document. The specific part of the document is: ---- snip ---- \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[positioning] ---- /snip -----
The problem seems to be that ConTeXt does not find the TikZ module. I use mkiv. The relevant output: ---- snip ----- % context test-document.tex

Using TikZ within LaTeX is no problem in this distribution. Is this a problem of TeX Live (or the distribution packaging)? I've looked in the installed files of texlive-context and other modules are installed, even modules that require TikZ (eg. gantt).
With TL 2017 the following example works as without problems. Post a minimal example to reproduce your problem, otherwise we can't help you. Also, your problem suggests a faulty TL installation.
\usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[positioning]
\starttext
\tikz\node{Hello World!};
\stoptext Thanks so far. This exact example leads to the same error: ------- snip ------ % context test.tex
