{{note|Releases of Debian packages (or any other linux packages 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 MinimalsStandalone]] instead , 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
aptitude install context context-modules # optional aptitude install [http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/context/download context-nonfree] [http://packages.debian.org/sid/context-doc-nonfree context-doc-nonfree]
* The final version in debian squeeze (aka debian stable 6.0) is 2009.11.26-2
* In ''unstable'' is a the version that will be in TeX Live 2011
* The final version in debian squeeze (aka debian stable 6.0) is 2009.11.26-2* in december 2010 a new experimental === Install latest unstable context .deb package was built you can try it out: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/context* MKIV is broken in experimental: [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609600 bug 609600]==
=== install latest experimental context <tt>unstable</tt> means ''(mature) development'', the version number may changes.deb package ===The software is ''stable''
1. Download the two .deb -s http://packages.debian.org/experimentalunstable/all/context/downloadhttp://packages.debian.org/unstable/all/context-modules/download
2. run as root(the version number might have increased a bit) dpkg -i context_2010-install context_2011.0705.3018.20110627-1_all.deb mtxrun --generate
3. run as user
mtxrun --generate
 
Step 2. is currently still necessary, but soon an update of tex-common will run mtxrun --generate automatically when packages have changed (like mktexlsr), and there will be no need to run this anymore.
 
Step 3. needs to be done only when you have files in TEXMFHOME or you change things there.
You have now a system wide context-installation!
