If you are running Debian sid or later, complete ConTeXt then the <code>context</code> and <code>context-modules</code> packages should already be visible (and the <code>context-nonfree</code> and <code>context-doc-nonfree</code> packages are in the nonfree repository).Then do aptitude update aptitude install context context-modules # optional aptitude install [http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/context/download context-nonfree] [http://packages for Debian.debian.org/sid/context-doc-nonfree context-doc-nonfree]

{{note|Releases of Debian (or any other distribution for that matter) usually contain way too old TeX distributions for ConTeXt MKIV (but should work fine for MKII). If you want to live on bleeding edge, consider using the packages from Debian/unstable, [[ConTeXt Standalone]], or at least install the latest version of [[TeX Live]] with [[TLContrib]] manually.}}
