Newbie Question about Installing on Mac OS X
Dear List, I failed to install ConTeXt. I have no experience with ...-Tex. Is there a description somewhere how to install ConteXt on Mac OS X? Do I really need that very big (~ 1.2 Gb) LaTex (MacTex) to install? And if yes how do I concatenate them? (I've took a look at the unix- script from the minimal Mac OS X Installation Download but did not understand if there have to be a folder called tex in the /usr/local/ directory or if the script do create one?) I do know very few about these things so I'am very greatful for some more detailed hints. thank you very much ole
The i-installer is not supported any longer, but should still work: http://ii2.sourceforge.net/ Cheers, Jörg Ole Schmidt wrote:

You don't *need* to intall MacTeX, but it is by far the easiest and most convenient way to start. If you can afford to download it, do it! Best, Steffen, Berlin.
