Hi Otared,
Thank you for your kind offer but Hans has modified the install script
such that it downloads the intel binaries which work under Rosetta on my
mac mini. I've ran context through the Terminal app and it went like a
dream. Just to setup TeXShop and or TeXWorks and that is me sorted.
Thanks again and Best Wishes

Hi Keith,
You may try to copy to your new machine the whole folder where you have
installed LMTX on your old machine, and then run
context --make
there. Indeed if this works for your current LMTX folder you'll need someone to
prepare a whole working folder of updated LMTX. As long as I have a PowerBook
with the old chip (and running MacOS 14), I may do this for you and then put a
zip file on Dropbox. However I may be too pushed to get a new M1 PowerBook in
the future.
Best regards: Otared K.

Hi,
I have recently retired my 2012 mac mini in favour of a new Apple silicon M1 mac mini on
which I would like to install ConTeXt. I know that their are no ARM binaries yet for
ConTeXt but Apple say that intel binaries can be run on an ARM using the Rosetta
emmulation software. I tried to download the intel binaries using the install.sh that
comes with the context-osx-64.zip file but of course it does not recognise the ARM chip
and suggests contacting the mailing list. In some previous emails to the list, in which I
was a participent, (see the post "new upload" of 26/11/2020) their was some
discussion on how Context could be set up to work on these machines by building binaries
using Xcode. I am afraid this is well above my skillset so I was wondering how I could
get the Intel binaries and then set up ConTeXt running with the Rosetta emulation
software. I should be able to do that. If this is possible, I would be very happy to do
some testing and report back my experiences to the list.
Best Wishes
