Hi all (especially Keith who successfully got Context running on the new M1 Mac OS ARM)

Again thanks to Mojca for providing the Mac OS ARM download. I recently replace my old Mac with the new ARM one. 

I am having difficulty getting ConTeXt to work.  This is what I have done and the information from the console.

I downloaded:

context-osx-arm64.zip

In terminal:  cd /Users/charlesdoherty/context-osx-arm64

Ran sh install.sh

and all seems ok (following Keith’s advice on privacy).

I made an engine for TeXShop based on what worked before:

#!/bin/Zsh
export PATH=$PATH:~/context-osx-arm64/bin:~/context-osx-arm64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin
~/context-osx-arm64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --directives="system.showerror" --autopdf "$1" --purgeall

I made it executable.

When I typeset a file in TeXShop using this engine I get:

/Users/charlesdoherty/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ARM.engine:3: bad CPU type in executable: /Users/charlesdoherty/context-osx-arm64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun

I have tried various options to no avail but I would really appreciate some help on this (longhand rather than cryptic would be really helpful).

Thanks,
Charlie
