The second one.

This is because you need to regenerate the formats (texexec --make
--all). Please send the log if this fails to help.

No, that's not been suggested. You may not use the second argument
that way. If you read carefully again you'll see that there are **two
different recipes**. You need to use just one of them.

Yes, that makes sense. Since
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin is NOT the root of
distribution. That's just the PATH to your binaries.

Just go with the first approach (the one that reports mismatching
formats at the moment), run
    texexec --make --all
and send the log if it fails to work.
