Install the ConTeXt packages

Norbert Preining has produced reliable, complete ConTeXt packages for Debian.

If you are running Debian sid or later, then the context package should already be visible (and the context-nonfree and context-doc-nonfree packages are in the nonfree repository). then do

 aptitude update
 aptitude install context context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree

and apt will download and install the latest ConTeXt packages.

install latest experimental context .deb package

1. Download the .deb http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/context/download

2. run as root dpkg -i context_2010.07.30-1_all.deb

You have now a system wide context-installation!
