Recent edits seem to have broken that wiki page, it is now more
about updating than about running, and the instructions in it
are no longer valid *unless* you do the update as well. Mojca,
wouldn't it be better to move the "Updating ConTeXt" to one of
the installation pages (or a standalone page) ?

It should have said to run luatools --generate first, as it still
does in the Quickstart section. The TEXMFCNF setting should not
be needed (but when present, it should indeed point to a directory,
not a file).

Best wishes,
Taco
