Changes

1. Create a folder inside your the Applications folder (in the Finder, press Command-Shift-A) and name it "ConTeXtMinimals"“ConTeXtMinimals”

2. Open a Terminal window (i.e. go under Utilities and , open the Terminal .appin your Utilities folder: a little window pops up)

3. type Type this: <code>cd /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/</code>, it which means "change “change directory": now we to ConTeXtMinimals”. Now you are working under in the folder we you have just created.

4. type Type this:<code>rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .</code>and press Enter/Return.

we have called This calls <code> rsync</code>, a program which goes on to the contexgarden contextgarden site (--> you must be connected to internet) and download downloads all the necessary files for us.HereTo start, it simply downloads the little file <code>first-setup.sh</code>: it this file contains a set of instructions which allow for automatic downloads (e.g. , it selects the right files depending on which platform you are). So you have now to type in Terminal <code>./first-setup.sh</code> in order to execute it. As a consequence of running such a file, a big (but not so big) download and install process starts.

To get the rest of the ConTeXt minimals, you have to execute <code> first-setup.sh </code> by typing in Terminal <code>./first-setup.sh</code>.  This will start the download and install process. Now (well, after a while) we you have all the required files into in the /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals folder. ===Configuring ConTeXT=== 1. Open a text editor and create a file that has in it the following line: <code>. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals /tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex</code>. Save this file as “.bash_profile” (see '''Where to put files''', below). Note: this file will be hidden, so make sure that you save it in the right place before completing the SAVE command.  (There is a small utility for working with hidden files on the Mac called Show/Hide Invisible Files: it is available at <code>http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22318</code>.) 2. Create a new folder named “texmf-local” inside ConTeXtMinimals/tex. 3. Create another folder “web2c” inside this texmf-local folder. 4. Inside your ConTeXtMinimals folder, locate the file named <code>texmf.cnf</code> that is in tex/texmf/web2c. Copy this file to ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c. Open this new texmf.cnf file, find the line HOMETEXMF = /nonexist  and replace it with the single line HOMETEXMF = ~/texmf Again, replace the line TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!with the single line TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} (See '''Where to put files''' below. These instructions assume that your personal texmf folder is in your Home folder. If you want it elsewhere, be sure to adjust the instructions in section 4 above accordingly.) 5. In Terminal, type <code>context --make</code> and press Enter/Return. ===Where to put files=== ''.bash_profile'' There are several places that this file may go. One possibility is in your Home folder. ''personal texmf'' Put your personal texmf folder where it will not get clobbered by future updates. Some possibilities: (a) inside your Home folder. (Your Home folder is the one that has the house icon.) (b) inside the Library folder in your Home folder.
