A simpler way to install LMTX in macOS Catalina

A simpler way to install LMTX in macOS Catalina

[Nicola]

Today I wanted to try LMTX and I have found these instructions in the wiki:

    https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS

Rather than disabling SIP, I have proceeded as follows:

1. Download macOS's version of LMTX from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation
2. Unpack
3. cd context-osx-64
4. xattr -d com.apple.quarantine bin/mtxrun
5. sh ./install.sh

Point 4 is important to avoid the dialog "mtxrun cannot be opened
because the developer cannot be verified." Of course, it would be
better if the binary were signed...

  It’s nice to report that to the list, could you also add a note on the
wiki page itself?  That’s where people are most likely to look for this
kind of information.

	Best,

And of course, it would be better to use Linux ;-)

I have update https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation accordingly.
