I tried to download all the modules  for context and it worked 
perfectly. My only difference was that the modules had already been 
installed. I followed the wikipage 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Input_and_compilation/Modules . I opened 
a terminal and cd into the tex folder. I then copied and pasted  mtxrun 
--script install-modules --install --all  from the wiki page into the 
terminal and hit return and is worked seamlessly, updating all of the files.
Here is the beginning of the output from the terminal of my mac mini M1.

(base) pothole@M1-mac-mini tex % mtxrun --script install-modules 
--install --all

I then  ran context --generate to update the database and all is fine.

Hope this helps
