Charles, I ran the last command (for “typical”) but now, when I try to typeset \starttext Hello World! \stoptext it appears that there is a “context” folder missing in the minimals that I downloaded. That is, I get
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex: line 75: cd: /Applications/ ConTeXtMinimals/context: No such file or directory The argument "" is not a valid TEXROOT path. There is no file "/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex" provide a proper tex root (like '. setuptex /something/tex') TeXExec | processing document 'hello.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file hello.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1013 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) %&-line parsing enabled.
