Hello.
Thanks to Otared and Matthias too for their solutions. Otared's method 
is working, Mathias method unfortunaly not working. ConTeXt is already 
installed on my MacBookAir. I dont know why, but It seems that for some 
reason rsync does not download the first-setup.sh file into my 
installation directory. After I put first-setup.sh file manually into 
install directory and then I run the installation script, then 
everything is all right till the end. At this moment, I still struggle 
with settings an appropriate environment variables so that everything 
worked like on my Windows PC installation. Running at (for me) an 
unfamiliar OS-X it is for me still long run (but adventurous) :-).
However installation on my MAC is currently commissioned and 
operational. Thanks for the advices.

Jaroslav Hajtmar

>> Thank you for the quick response. During installation, no error occurs, even seems that rsync copied without error message first-setup.sh to my %HOME/context directory. 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.

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?
