Hello Jaroslav,

Here is what I do on my Mac:

1) While in the Finder, create a folder named Context-standalone

2) Put the attached file « first-setup.sh »  in the folder Context-standalone

3) Open Terminal and issue the command

	cd [Path-to-the-folder-Context-standalone]

4) Then in Terminal issue the command

	ls first-setup.sh

you should see something beginning with:

	-rwxr-xr-x  

that is the file has an « x » in its or your rights, that is it is executable.

If this not the case, using the command below make sure it has that right:

	chmod +x first-setup.sh

5) Once this is done, issue the command

	sh first-setup.sh

6) In principle you should end up with all files necessary for Context working in the folder Context-standalone

7) If this is not the case, please report at which step things do not work as expected.

Best regards: OK

When then I look into this directory, then there is no file. Subsequently command sudo sh ./first-setup.sh reports nonexistent file or directory. I tried to install it into your Applications folder too (I have administrative access), but not in this way I have not done.

>>> I am trying to install a standalone ConTeXt on MacBook. I am doing everything exactly as instructed on contextgarden.net, but the installation will fail. It seems that the problem is with rsync, with copying the installation script first-setup.sh into my Mac. Since I am a longtime Windows user and I'm a newbie on OS X, I'd like to find out what the problem may be. I dont know nothing about OS X, but I suppose that might be a problem with the firewall settings or access rights to the directories which  I use to install ConTeXt etc. Can someone please advise how to perform the installation? There is an option to download the installation package and install ConTeXt differently?
