{{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.}}
 
== Install the ConTeXt packages ==
Norbert Preining has produced reliable, complete The status of ConTeXt packages for in Debian/unstable is currently up to date with the soon to be released TeX Live 2011, and includes all the necessary bits and pieces, plus the modules shipped in TeX Live.
If you are running Debian sid or later, then the <code>context</code> package 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 Then do
aptitude update
