→Installation by hand
When you want to install a new module which is available as file only create
the subdirectories in the way described above and place the file there, for
modules which are available as zip files with precreated subdorectories pre-created subdirectories you
can unzip the archive in the top-level directory (e.g. texmf-local/) and all
files are on the correct place.
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 -recursive --links --times --info=progress2,remove,symsafe,flist,del --human-readable --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.
mkdir -p tex
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
