Obviously this command line (which looks quite strange to me) does
not compile the format; it tries to run ConTeXt Mark IV directly. It
seems that you have concatenated two legitimate command lines ;-) Try:
luatools --generate
luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en

Yes, quite a bit, for ConTeXt above all; as a minimum, TEXMFCNF and TEXMF.
Otherwise you can have a look at Hans' setuptex in the minimal
distributions: linuxtex.zip, macosxtex.zip, etc. setuptex is a shell script,
so all you have to do is source it (and forget about the other
executables in the zip file since you can't use them anyway).
