Dear Axel,
Thank you very much for your attention and your hints, which solved my problems
with ConTeXt from TeXLive2020.
Indeed following your suugestion, I removed the
/opt/local/etc/texmf/
directory, as well as all other tex related directories and files in
/opt/local/, and then installed again MacTeX2020.
In oder to be on the safe side, I rebuilt also the locate database, then
rebooted my machine: after that I could run
luatools --generate
and now with
context --version
I have current version: 2020.03.10 14:44.
However I don't know why I had tex related files in /opt/local/, which is used
by MacPorts…
I hope to be able to explain to my colleague how to run ConTeXt (LuaTeX) within
TeXShop from MacTeX2020.
Thanks to eveyone!
Best regards: Otared
