I'm the newest of newbies and have installed of TexLive on a PC running
Vista. The post-installation tests described in Section 3.5 of the TeXLive
Guide run just fine (Tex, LaTex, pdfLaTex). No tests were included for
Context, so I failed around trying to run Texexec amd Texmfstart to no good
end. How can I determine if Context was installed properly and how do I run
Context?

did you install ruby?
as an alternative take the minimals from the context garden as they are
more up to date (as well as much smaller)

Hans,
I didn't explicitly install ruby because I thought that was done
automatically as part of the TexLive install. A ruby folder exists as
c:\Program Files\texlive\2008\texmf-dist\scripts\context\ruby and has files
in it. Where can instructions for installing ruby be found?
Thanks,
Tom Benjey

i normally google for one (there are a couple of installers, just take a
native windows version)

Hans,
Please pardon these very basic questions. Do I understand correctly that
Context requires that a Ruby compiler that is not part of the TexLive
package be installed? I had not previously heard of the Ruby language so
know nothing about it. I assume that there are competing
compilers/interpreters for the language and various releases of those
compilers. Which compilers are compatible with TexLive? Does this compiler
need to be installed in any particular directory?
Thanks,
Tom Benjey
