== Install the ConTeXt packages ==
Norbert Preining has produced reliable, complete ConTeXt packages for Debian, and they use very recent versions of ConTeXt.
If you are running Debian sid or later, then the <code>context</code> package should already be visible (and the <code>context-nonfree</code> and <code>context-doc-nonfree</code> packages are in the nonfree repository).
then do
apt-get update
apt-get install context context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree
and apt will download and install the latest ConTeXt packages.

and make sure that it's not finding any (until you do the system-wide install, of course).
That should do it! The output of <code>ctxtools --contextversion</code> is hopefully like this:
