Experimental setup for Ubuntu
Ubuntu comes with texlive from Feb 2007. That is too old for ConTeXt. I tried to install a parallel tree using the minimals and that failed. So, I tried to merge the minimal tree with texlive. Here are the steps (I am new to linux, so may be doing something really wrong here, use at your own risk)
cd $HOME rsync -rpzctlv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/linux-64/bin . cd bin mtxrun --script update --platform=linux-64 --texroot=../tex --update cd $HOME/tex/texmf-context rsync -rvzctlp rsync://contextgarden.net'/minimals/current/fonts/new/ minimals/current/fonts/common/ minimals/current/fonts/old/' fonts cd $HOME/tex/ rsync -rvzctlp rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/pragma/justtex/texmf-context/ texmf-context cd $HOME ln -s tex/texmf-context texmf cd $HOME/bin # Make sym-links ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/ctxtools ctxtools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/exatools exatools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luatex luatex ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luatools luatools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mpost mpost ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mpstools mpstools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mpto mpto ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mptopdf mptopdf ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun mtxrun ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/pdftex pdftex ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/pdftools pdftools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/pdftosrc pdftosrc ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/pdftrimwhite pdftrimwhite ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/pstopdf pstopdf ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/rlxtools rlxtools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/runtools runtools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texexec texexec ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texfind texfind ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texfont texfont ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texlua texlua ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texluac texluac ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texmfstart texmfstart ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texshow texshow ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/textools textools ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texutil texutil ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/xetex xetex ln -s ../tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/xmltools xmltools
Seems to work ok. I will test more, and if it works, maybe copy this information to the main page --Aditya 21:55, 16 December 2007 (CET)
