Hi All, I have been using ConTeXt on Macs for >20 years. Having written a particular piece of code for others to operate who have PCs, I am now stuck. I upgraded to LuaTeX some time ago as recommended on this list. IT do not seem to be able to install a working version of LuaTeX on PCs. I have directed them to ConTeXt Garden but they have had no luck. Do any of you have guaranteed pointers to a simple installation on PCs? Simple editing and creating (from ConTeXt) the PDFs is all that is required. Thanks — Nigel nigel@nigelking.me.uk m:07917 803879

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone download http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win64.zip unzip someplace, then run first-setup.bat etc ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

unzip someplace, then run
first-setup.bat
I suppose the problematic part is rsync here, which communicates via unusual port number 873. It is typically disabled in company environments. I encountered this few years ago. Now I've found a workaround for this (but not tested): https://www.poftut.com/specify-different-port-for-linux-rsync/ Jan
