We are not using the famous TeXShop editor, because it is slighlty more complicated and typically you grab it bundled with a TeX distribution (like MacTeX), and opportunely configured. By using Smultron, we have created a completely autonomous and lightweight ConTeXTMinimals installation which can work aside MacTeX/TeXShop installation. More, by pdfview we have auto update, which is one of the very relevant feature of TeXShop (If you do not know about all this stuff, see [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mac_Installation Mac installation]
=== TeXShop installation and configuration===
3. Create an empty text document with your favorite text editor or TeXShop. Then, insert the following text into the document:
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH
texexec "$1"
</pre>
4. SAVE this document in your Home folder in “Library/TeXShop/Engines/” AS “ConTeXt-MKII.engine”. (TeXShop offers the .engine file format)
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, by creating a file named “ConTeXt-MKIV.engine” that contains the lines:
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH
export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache
context "$1"
</pre>
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 once more, by creating a file named “ConTeXt-XeTeX.engine” that contains the lines:
<pre>
