Re: Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi Bruce,

If you want to use your standalone version of ConTeXt, you should create a specific « .engine » file for this and then in TeXShop use that engine. Here is what I have when I typeset a file in TeXShop using mkiv ConTeXt:

%%%%% begin file mkiv.engine

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH
context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate "$1" --purgeall

%%%%% end file mkiv.engine

you should replace the line « export PATH=…. » by the path to your installation of ConTeXt.

Best regards: OK
PS: regarding the installation and updates of ConTeXt on Mac, Thomas Floren has written a nice Apple Script which you can find here:
