But attempting that first command gives me, “startup error : no format file given, quitting”. My web search isn't helping. Do I need to specify some format file, and if so which?

To elaborate, I get the same error when attempting the test suggested in the installation instructions.

```
$ context /tmp/test.tex
startup error : no format file given, quitting
```

Sincerely,
Bryan Kaplan
