Brew: Context install

[nitrocode]

Hi. First of all thank you so much for this project. It has mitigated almost all the pain of installing applications on osx.

Description

I'd like to be able to install context directly from the brew instead of running this script

mkdir $HOME/context
cd $HOME/context
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex

Motivation

To make it easier to install the dependency for pandoc and tex related support. See pandoc_resume project.

Relevance

It's relevant in the tex, latex, pandoc world of scientific documents and typesetting. Pandoc is already formulated in brew.

Alternatives

I haven't found an alternative that can do what context can do. I did find a suboptimal, alternative way to install it using the shell script provided by contextgarden.net as mentioned above.

Also a previous attempt was made at this but it doesn't look like it met standards.

@nitrocode:

     ConTeXt should be available as part of TeX Live (currently its 2018 edition as of this writing), distributed for OS X/macOS from Homebrew Cask using the TeX Users' Group's (similarly versioned as of this writing) upstream MacTeX package; run brew cask install mactex to get it if you haven't already, then open TeX Live Utility and use it to make sure all of your TeX-related typography packages are up to date.

I did not know about this. :tada:

Glad I could help, @nitrocode!

@RandomDSdevel wait sorry. I spoke to soon. I ran brew cask install mactex but it did not install the command line app context.

@nitrocode please read the upstream ConTeXt documentation on how to set up ConTeXt with MacTeX: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mac_Installation and contact them if you need more help with that.

This issue tracker is for bugs related to the brew package manager itself.

     Couldn't have said it better myself, @ilovezfs, though I thought I'd point him in the right direction. @nitrocode probably should have filed this issue with Homebrew/homebrew-core instead in the first place, too, since he was initially asking for a new formula for ConTeXt, but that's water under the bridge now; on with the day…
