Perfect Mac OS X Installation?

Perfect Mac OS X Installation?

[Markus Hubig]

Hi @all,

i've done a fresh install of ConTeXt Minimals on my Mac OS X box.
Now I like to put my setup steps into a small script so my brother can
use it. It wold be nice if someone can give me some comments ...
maybe I missed something, maybe I did something stupid!

I would not install it to /Applications; it doesn't behave like a Mac
application, but that's completely up to you.

No time to comment extensively, but you don't need to rename it back
to setuptex. Just create "mysetuptex/mytex" and call that one.

If you rename it to setuptex, it will get rewritten next time when you update.

That's OK.

Your script is clever, but in my experience, you can simplify the  
process. I have a TeXLive install and the ConTeXt minimals on my OS X  
box. In order to use them, I have two configuration files. Here's the  
one for the minimals (which is named .minicontext):

PATH="/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH"
export PATH
export TEXMFCACHE="/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-cache"
export TEXMFCNF="/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf/web2c"
export TEXMF="{/Users/tas/texmf,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-project,/ 
Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-fonts,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-local,/ 
Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf- 
extra,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/ 
context/lua,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base,/ 
Users/tas/texmf/scripts/context/lua}"

I simply run "source ~/.minicontext", and my system is set up. The  
syntax is for zsh; if you're running bash or (heaven forbid!) tcsh,  
you may have to adapt it slightly; and of course, adapt the path  
variables to your own needs.

Best

Thomas

There is a tool designed specifically for this sort of adjustment to
the environment,
called "environment modules":

<http://modules.sourceforge.net/>
<http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/software/os/modules.html>

This was standard kit on SGI Irix -- now that we are replacing the SGI
workstations with
MacOSX at work I use the (experimental) tcl version.    The big
advantage of using
environment modules is that it reliably restores the default environment.
