Hi,
I decided to give another try to ConTeXt. I already did two years ago, I think, but I had problems mostly because of the lack of documentation for MkIV. Having a more or less strong knowledge and experience of LaTeX doesn't help!!!
This time: I did not succeed to install a stand alone version.
Tell us more about the specific problems.
I did retry everything from the beginning and now it works. One problem is that there is two "bin" folder and I was first pointing to the wrong one; after that I didn't see the context.exe and was trying to use mtxrun. And of course I did add to the path. So now it works from a standalone version. (up to date)
Following the discussions on ntg-context, there often is solution using one of hte latest version of ConTeXt, so I have a first question: is it possible to update the TeX Live ConTeXt and its associated files?
I would suggest you to do the following: - Add tlcontrib to the list of repositories and update luatex and ConTeXt from there (http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/usage.html).
I did try this before reinstalling the standalone; but it was refused because there probably is a pointer to TeX Live 2010 and I have 2012.
- You can add the latest version of ConTeXt to texmf-local or $TEXMFHOME (usually $HOME/texmf, but may be set to a different place) or to some other place. You can clone a git repository (https://gitorious.org/context) there for example (just make sure that you don't use one extra directory). - Apart from that you need to make sure that mtxrun will be taken from the latest ConTeXt. There are different options to achieve that. (Add $HOME/bin to PATH and put a symlink or copy of mtxrun there, or any other option that comes to your mind.)
