minimal ConTeXt tree

minimal ConTeXt tree

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi all,

I wanted to give my TeX a fresh start,
deleted the complete tetex folder
and downloaded Hans' "macosxtex.zip".

Could someone please share his/her experience
what to do now - in order to get the files in this zip work?

I am working on MacOSX and - by now - I am not so firm
on the path topic that's probably necessary now...
so I need probably a *very easy explanation* 

:o/

Any help welcome!

Steffen

This sounds to me as if you want to shoot yourself in your feet but
you don't know how to handle the gun .-)

Why don't you use Gerben's iInstaller with a pretty uptodate ConTeXt?
(Never used it, only reading about it).


But if you succeed, please put your experience in the wiki:

in principle the mac tree should work, when you run from a console; 
(that way i can comfortably use it from within scite) ; however, gerbens 
installation is normally quite up to date and integrates well in the 
texshop etc environments, so maybe you shopuld try tat first (I suppose 
one can install context-only)
