Re: How can I use ConTeXt from TeXLive2020 ?

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi Mojca,

You are correct about not removing « by hands » parts of a package… 
The reason for which I wen to that extremity was that I wanted absolutely to be sure to be able to run ConTeXt from TeXLive2020 in order to convince a few colleagues to experiment it with TeXShop. 

If I type in the Terminal
	port installed 'tex*'
the answer is:
	None of the specified ports are installed.

I guess this is because after having solved the problem I met with installing MacTeX2020, I had done:
	sudo port uninstall texlive-basic --follow-dependencies
in order to uninstall ant TeX related package from Macports (I don't know how thos packages were installed, maybe when I tried to use asymptote, and since I couldn't use it from within ConTeXt I gave up…).

Best regards: Otared
