You need to have C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin in front of MikTeX's
bin, else the command "context" will use LuaTeX from MikTeX and that
one won't find ConTeXt scripts.

However, you might stumble into some problems with LaTeX then, but it
might be possible to remove pdfTeX (during installation of ConTeXt you
can say --engines=luatex) and then it will be unlikely that you will
want to use the same binary with ConTeXt and LaTeX (I have no idea how
kpathsea would work in such a scenario).

Good thinking Mojca! Moving C:\context up in PATH has done the trick from
the command line. Now I will fuss getting editor to work.

I compiled a few of my standard docs through MiKTeX pdflatex and mpost docs
with no conflict so far. Thank you so much for the suggestion and thanks to
luigi and Hans for their help too.

Then I will read and play with wonderful ConTeXt manuals and generate a
million more questions ;)

I use windows here and it works ok, so it should be possible to get it 
working. In principle the only thing needed is to add the tex bin path 
to the environment variable PATH (beware there are two of them). From an 
editor, you can best run 'mtxrun --script context ...'.

Is the cache generated? Has there been an initial 'mtxrun --generate'?

Lua script not registered

[John Kitzmiller]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1074 bytes --]

Replying to the list in this manner--having to retype the subject--is
unusual to me, and I hope it does not create problems for the list. Please
help me on how to reply within the mail archive to make more efficient.
Many thanks to those who have replied on the topic!

Thank you, Aditya--

I had run C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat and then tried

C:\context>context firstfile.tex

which worked (now down to 3+ secs from 11+ at first run--file = \starttext
Hello World \stoptext)

I think I can get this setuptex.bat automated for random context runs but,

for some reason(s) C:>context somefile.tex will not work globally on my
personal computer (Lenovo x100e) over which I have admin control (maybe I
am not a good admin?) and I have added C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin to my
PATH

I still get "Lua script not registered" complaint when I try to compile
outside of C:\context directory

I suppose I could live with keeping all binaries and docs in C:\context,
but that is not so inviting compared to being able to pdfLaTeX a doc over
Dropbox via MikTeX for example.

Before you run "context filename" you need to run 
"C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat" to set all the paths. After that "context 
filename" should work fine.

If you still get the "script not registered" error, then run "luatools 
--generate" after runing setuptex.

Each run? On my (over 5 years old) machine a Hello world takes less than 
a second.

Can you install the standalone distribution from the garden and see if 
that one works?

However, I still get Lua script not registered when I try to run from other

Under linux, save this as test.tex
\starttext \input tufte \stoptext

and the on a shell

$> context test.tex

You should have test.pdf with one page.

Otherwise, we need more infos (OS, which context standalone, test file...)

Lua script not registered

[John Kitzmiller]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 360 bytes --]

Hello.

Trying to make my first doc with ConTeXt (Win7, standalone install) I get
the error:

context: The Lua script is not registered
context: Data: context

and I am taken back to the command prompt. Nothing is produced.

Any ideas?

What did I overlook?

After `texing otherwise for years I am really looking forward to diving
into ConTeXt.

Thanks,

John
