Hi Dalyoung,

If this can be of any help, here is what I did in order to install LuaMetaTeX on MacOS in order to use it with TeXShop:

1) I downloaded from 
	http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm
the version of the installer for MacOS and installed a folder named context-osx-64 at an appropriate place (actually at /context-osx-64)

2) Then I did
	sh install.sh
in that folder, and once the download was finished I replaced the directory texmf-local with a symbolic link to my texmf-local directory (which sits somewhere else)

3) In the directory
	~/Library/TeXShop/Engines
I created a new file named LuaMetaTeX.engine containing the following three lines:

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:/context-osx-64/bin:/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf "$1" --purgeall 

4) Then when opening TeXShop, I can choose from the scroll menu which shows up on the top left of each a tex file, the engine LuaMetaTeX (or I can set it as default in the Preferences) in order to typeset with LuaMetaTeX engine.

5) When I need to update the installation I just run again
	sh install.sh
from within the directory /context-osx-64
(The symlink to my texmf-local is not destroyed).

6) If I need to typeset a file from a command line in Terminal, then I need to say

	export PATH=/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:/context-osx-64/bin:/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

before typesetting myfile.tex by saying

	/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf myfile.tex

(Note that the above command should be issued when one is already in the directory containing myfile.tex, beacuse otherwise the corresponding pdf file will be created in the wrong place…).

Best regards: OK
