about LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.06.02   On Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4 . 
Hope this may convey some useful information. On Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4 ( Mac mini late 2012, I5, 16GB RAM), using the current LMTX version just downloaded from Pragma Ade, I installed Context LMTX and tested the download by compiling the Metafun manual sources as indicated below:

 

>>>>   sh-3.2# context metafun


resolvers       | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': /System/Volumes/Data/opt/data/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/luametatex --jobname="metafun" --fmt=/System/Volumes/Data/opt/data/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=/System/Volumes/Data/opt/data/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui cont-yes.mkiv --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./metafun" --c:input="./metafun" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="/System/Volumes/Data/opt/data/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin"

This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.06.02

Final result of this compilation:

Please consider that this mac mini is quite old and I am running mac OS Catalina on an external SSD.   This was the first installation on Mac of Context today. I am quite happy with the results.

I  wish to express my appreciation for the outstanding work that Hans and the entire Context contributors team have carried out with focus and perseverance through the years.  Hello to Otared and Luigi with whom I  was in contact many years ago at the time of MKII .

I also installed the same LMTX Context release on the Linux Subsystem for  Microsoft Windows 10 and on different versions of Arch Linux. with the same excellent results.

Thanks again for the excellent work,

Giulio

looks like a wrong binary .. should be 2.06.02 .. can you try this binary:

http://dl.contextgarden.net/build/luametatex/x86_64-darwin/

(the farm generates two binaries for osx and it looks like the legacy machine has gone off line which happens when osx updates itself and gets stuck half way, i'll look into it)

Perhaps there is an problem with the installation files?
no, i uploaded a new lmtx only (not sure why the date is old then)


what version does the binary report?


It reports what the log says. My update program simply scrapes the version report. The version report in full is:
