We currently have the following wording:
When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing:
. /path/to/context/tex/setuptex
in your shell or add
"/path/to/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin"
to PATH variable if you want to set it permanently.
This can usually be done in .bashrc, .bash_profile
(or whatever file is used to initialize your shell).
But we could remove the part about setuptex and be more explicit by
writing down export PATH=... ;)
The reason why I use/like setuptex is because I'm nowadays mostly
working with TeX Live 2012 and only switch to distribution when I need
that (a new feature or when I want to test something). And it far
easier to use tab-completion to point to the desired setuptex than to
write an explicit "export PATH=..." every time a shell is started. I
could of course write my own "distribution switcher".
