[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 614 bytes --]

Dear all,

I have installed ConTeXt standalone on a macbook pro Monterey OS 12.76 Intel machine (early 2015).
I downloaded X86 and after install I get a folder context-osx-64 
used sh install.sh and everything seems to work fine with TeXShop.
I tried to download the modules using mtxrun --script install-modules --install —all
I get a modules folder with files that are all like the first one below.
0C61CC4610D0FD8A2EBB2454500D59CBCD6936B85FC7841503E045662D0E737C.tma

I am obviously doing something silly or using the incorrect syntax.

Any help would be appreciated.

Charlie Doherty

The only obvious error I see is "-all" instead of "--all".

Did you call the command within the tex folder (below install.sh)? (If 
not, you should have seen an error message.)

Dear Hraban,

Thank you for the advice. I have been very careful and I cd to tex and and checked the syntax. When I typed the - - in macmail it automatically changed it to – but when I entered it in terminal it was right. However I get the same result 0C61CC4610D0FD8A2EBB2454500D59CBCD6936B85FC7841503E045662D0E737C.tma in the resulting modules folder.

Any further thoughts would be appreciated.
Charlie

I tried to download all the modules  for context and it worked 
perfectly. My only difference was that the modules had already been 
installed. I followed the wikipage 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Input_and_compilation/Modules . I opened 
a terminal and cd into the tex folder. I then copied and pasted  mtxrun 
--script install-modules --install --all  from the wiki page into the 
terminal and hit return and is worked seamlessly, updating all of the files.
Here is the beginning of the output from the terminal of my mac mini M1.

Sorry, I didn’t really check before.

There should be a .tma file for each installed module – you can look 
into it, it’s just text and contains a lua table.

Did the output of the script look like in Keith’s example, or was there 
an error message?

I have saved screenshots showing my directory structure below 
texmf-modules on my onedrive. It is worthwhile exploring the directories 
within texmf-modules. Have you tried to use any of the modules? I have 
used the simpleslides module and it was very easy to use. On my machine 
it is here 
/Path/to/data/contextmacosarm64/tex/texmf-modules/doc/context/third/simpleslides 
.You can download two screenshots of the directory structures as they 
are on my machine using the following link:

Thanks for your advice Keith,

I eventually solved my problem by downloading the modules that I needed and putting them in the texmf-local and everything is fine.

Thanks again,
Charlie
