Context installation

2022-03-22

If you want to run ConTeXt everywhere, you need to adapt the path, like:

  export PATH=/Users/pradeep/context/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin:$PATH

If you run from an editor you can specify the full path to mtxrun:

  /Users/pradeep/context/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf ...

If you also want to run LuaTeX and MkIV you can provide --luatex but first the file
database has to be generated (this time with context and not mtxrun):

  context --luatex --generate
  context --luatex --make

The following settings were used:

  server   : lmtx.contextgarden.net,lmtx.pragma-ade.com,lmtx.pragma-ade.nl
  instance : install-lmtx
  extras   :
  ownpath  : /Users/pradeep/context
  platform : osx-arm64
