Thanks Hans for the advice.
I use a mac-mini and it seems that mupdf, of which mutools is part off,
does not have a macOS version, or I would have to build from source.
However it looks like I can use Inkscape with a wee bit thought to do
pretty much the same.
Thanks again for your help.

Dear Readers,
I have been playing about with METAFUN over the last few days trying
to get a feel for it. I was wondering if it is possible to save the
graphics produced in a context document for use outside. On looking
at the Metapost manual I see you can using the following commands
save a graphic as an svg file.
forget about producing svg this way ... (1) it would not work with
fonts, and (2) mplib in luatex has svg and png output disabled.
% file: mpsvg.tex
\startMPpage
draw textext("Does it work?") ;
draw boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 2mm withcolor "darkred" ;
\stopMPpage
% process
context mpsvg
mutool convert -o mpsvg.svg mpsvg.pdf
