Your problem has nothing to do with your above description! You was talking about Terminal (i.e. bash), not ConTeXt!
Step 5. In Terminal, type context --make and press Enter/Return.
This yields: MtxRun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx- context.lua'
Then I cd-ed stepwuse up to /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf- context/scripts/context/lua, after each cd trying to perform step 5, and then finally I got:
...
But for example cont-en.tex does exist on my Mac and it sits in texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
These files are not found. So I am a bit at a loss at what to try next.
The page "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation " that you seem to follow states: "This page describes an alternative of installing ConTeXt Minimals on Mac OS X. In particular it describes how to configure some GUI applications to work well with minimals. (For command-line gurus it is enough to follow the three steps described in ConTeXt Minimals.)" The part "For command-line gurus" is misleading. Stay with http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals Never install under /Applications if you don't know what you do! Always install in your home folder; you'll run in less permission problems. Open a new Terminal window (shell). You're in your home folder (~) now. Create the context folder and change into it: $ mkdir context $ cd context (Leave out the $, that's your shell prompt!) Download first-setup.sh: $ curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh Make it executable: $ chmod a+x first-setup.sh Run it and go make tea: $ sh ./first-setup.sh Run the path setup: $ ./tex/setuptex ConTeXt should work now (i.e. at this moment in this shell window); you need to run the path setup with every new shell (i.e. Terminal) window; to automate that, you can add the "setuptex" command to your "profile", that's a script that gets called with every new shell window. $ cd $ echo "sh ~/context/tex/setuptex" >> .bash_profile Are there any remaining problems? I'll change the Wiki now. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
