* Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem @ 2016-01-17 12:19 Jaroslav Hajtmar 2016-01-17 12:27 ` Weber, Matthias 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Jaroslav Hajtmar @ 2016-01-17 12:19 UTC (permalink / raw) To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Hello ConTeXist. 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? Thanks for replies.

What error message do you get at what stage? You need to make sure that you have write permission to the installation directory; anything inside your home directory should be safe. Also, as a general precaution, make sure the path to your installation directory doesn’t contain unusual characters.

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.

First 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. More precisely you should replace /Volumes/OK/context-minimal with the path going to the folder where your Context installation sits (in your case it is where you have put the file first-setup.sh). Then this file « mkiv.engine » should be put in the folder Library/TeXShop/Engines Once this is done, you have three solutions in order to use TeXShop with your standalone Context. Here they are: Solution 1: add the following line at the top of your source file: %!TEX TS-program = mkiv Note that in the above you may replace « mkiv » with whatever engine name known to your TeXShop installation (for instance « ContextSuite», or any other name you have, or (may God forgive both of us…) even « latex »…). When you typeset with ConTeXt, then TeXShop will use the chosen engine. Solution 2: when your source file is open, you should have, at the top of your window, a small menu named « Program ». Click on that menu and among the programs (that is the engines) choose the one you want. Solution 3: open the TeXShop Preferences and in the « Typesetting » pane , on the upper left part of the resulting window, choose the radio button « Command listed below » and type the name of your preferred engine. This method makes a general default, so if you use some other typesetting packages for some files you have to modify things for those files.

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.

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?

* Re: Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem 2016-01-17 16:57 ` Otared Kavian @ 2016-01-17 17:32 ` Jaroslav Hajtmar 0 siblings, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Jaroslav Hajtmar @ 2016-01-17 17:32 UTC (permalink / raw) To: ntg-context Hello Otared. Thanks for inspiring advice. Be sure that I will try everything setting up so that I ConTeXt work as on my PC and Windows. After 25 years of using Windows, I would never say that I will experiment with MacBook and OS-X. At the moment, I am pleased that I cease to be dependent on any OS platform and freely move between multiple computers with different operating systems. It's a super feeling that after twenty years, I feel that I am not dependent on a particular computer. With most of the software I have no problem, I just ConTeXt still missed on the MacBook. Now it's all OK. Thanks for the advice, perhaps maybe I'll ever for you further advice about ConTeXt on OS-X.
