Added a simplified version of the module installation procedure for LMTX.
# want to do that, you have to run mtxrun --generate.
sh ./install.sh
Here is a simplified version of this procedure, tested with MacOS 10.15 on 2020-12-12. There doesn't seem to be any perm issues anymore.
# Synchronize all modules from the ConTeXt Garden in the directory 'modules' which is created if it doesn't exist.
rsync -rltv --del rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/modules/ modules
# Create the union of all modules in tex/texmf-modules (the directory is created if it doesn't exist).
# If you have personal modules in tex/texmf-modules, they won't be modified.
rsync -rlt --exclude=/VERSION --del modules/*/ tex/texmf-modules
# You may delete the 'module's directory to reclaim some space or keep it to speed up the next update.
# rm -rf modules
# Update the ConTeXt LMTX distribution. Alternatively, if you do not
# want to do that, you have to run mtxrun --generate.
sh ./install.sh

Prior to release ''2005.05.25'', ConTeXt silently truncated all file names in {{cmd|usemodule</cmd> }} commands to 8 characters long and lowercased them to "prevent cross platform problems with filenames". Thus, module files that are to be used with older versions of ConTeXt must have filenames that fit those restrictions, or they will (somewhat cryptically) not be found.
