Thanks a lot Aditya.

The very simple TikZ example with the cross works.
The more complex example with the trigonometric circle from the pgf manual,
quoted in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TikZ , does not compile
unless you also comment out
 or find(n,"pdftex")
in line 181 of the mtx-install-modules.lua file
before doing mtxrun --script install-modules --install tikz
but I could guess that from a:
 Driver file ``pgfsys-pdftex.def'' not found..
message

Thanks again
Jean-Guillaume

This was a bit crazy to track down. Here is the fix:

In line 180 of mtx-install-modules.lua, comment the line

        or find(n,"luatex")

Otherwise, the file

    tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-luatex.def

is not extracted from the tikz.zip!

I don't know why OP and I (both on archlinux) were the only ones who had pgfsys-luatex.def missing. Everyone should have been affected by this.

PS: Also on line 103, it may be a good idea to change the curl call to

    curl --ssl --location

mirros.ctan.org will also do a HTTP 302 redirect and without the --location flag, curl will not follow the redirect.
