Hello ConTeXist I have a problem with updating ConTeXt on my Mac OS X (El Captain). When you run the update script to me an error message appears, which surprises me, since I logged on as the system administrator. Can anyone advise me on what could be the problem. I note that I am a beginner on OS X. Here is problematic report: Jaroslav-MacBook-Air:context hajtmar$ sh first-setup.sh receiving file list ... done rsync: failed to set times on "/Users/hajtmar/context/bin": Operation not permitted (1) bin/ rsync: mkstemp "/Users/hajtmar/context/bin/.luatex.y7B2Zy" failed: Permission denied (13) etc.... Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Running rsync as an administrator has an ugly consequence that you end up copying the UID and GUID as-is, so you might end up with files owned by very strange or perhaps even non-existing users. Maybe you could play with --chown=USER:GROUP when calling rsync from first-setup.sh to start with. Who currently owns bin and bin/luatex? It is not impossible that something changed yesterday though (I was messing with the server), but the installation works for me. What happens if you run the installation as a regular user (to a fresh directory)? We should look into it, but I need some proper diagnosis first. Mojca
I am running the same OSX El Capitan (from a non-administrator account) and I have no problems installing the ConTeXt-beta with the following script executed inside a fresk and empty directory:
#!/bin/bash
rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
chmod a+x first-setup.sh
mkdir tex
cd tex
ln -s ~/Documents/TeX/texmf texmf-local
cd ..
sh ./first-setup.sh --context=beta >first-setup.log
#sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current >first-setup.log
#sh ./first-setup.sh --context=date >first-setup.log
exit

Thanks Monca and Hans for the reply. I deleted the entire installation tree and I installed again the entire ConTeXt and it seems that everything is already OK. Jaroslav Hajtmar Dne 26.04.16 v 11:34 Mojca Miklavec napsal(a):
