TeXshop instructions on Context Minimals (Mac installation)

TeXshop instructions on Context Minimals (Mac installation)

[Curious Learn]

Hello,

I installed the stable version of Context Minimals and then followed the
instructions given on the Context Minimals/Mac Installation page. When I choose
ConTeXt-MKIV as my engine and try to typeset the document I get the following
error. 

Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-MKIV.engine does not have the
executable bit set.

This is when only "pdftex" is selected in the dropdown "Typeset" menu. 

It is true that the instructions on Context Minimals/Mac Installation page say
that "Context" should also be selected in this dropdown "Typeset" menu. But if I
try to do that, the engine automatically switches to "Context" that existed in
the Engines menu, before I installed Minimals and before I added Context-MKII
and ConTeXt-MKIV engines. This "ConTeXt engine is MKII. 

Can someone please help with this?

Thanks.

Hi!

You need to set the executable bit of the file ConTeXt-MKIV.engine.

In Terminal try:

cd Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/

and then

chmod +x ConTeXt-MKIV.engine

which will allow you to execute the file.

See http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html for an overview of chmod if  
you wish to refine this.

Thanks Alan. That worked great. I have added that to the instructions
on the Wiki.
