Having written a particular piece of code for others to operate who have PCs, I am now stuck. I upgraded to LuaTeX some time ago as recommended on this list. IT do not seem to be able to install a working version of LuaTeX on PCs. I have directed them to ConTeXt Garden but they have had no luck. Do any of you have guaranteed pointers to a simple installation on PCs? Simple editing and creating (from ConTeXt) the PDFs is all that is required.

The installation page really needs an update ... the starting point is here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone download http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win64.zip unzip someplace, then run first-setup.bat etc ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It is typically disabled in company environments. I encountered this few years ago. Now I've found a workaround for this (but not tested): https://www.poftut.com/specify-different-port-for-linux-rsync/ Jan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
