the [[Debian TeXlive install]] page.
→Install the ConTeXt packages: - typo fix
{{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 MinimalsStandalone]], or at least install the latest version of [[TeX Live]] with [[TLContrib]] manually.}}
== Install the ConTeXt packages ==
The status of ConTeXt in Debian/unstable is currently up to date with the soon to be released TeX Live 20112021, 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> 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
* The final version in debian squeeze bullseye (aka debian stable 611.02) is 20092020.03.1110.2620200331-21* In ''unstable'' is a the version that will be in is from the TeX Live 20112021
=== Install latest unstable context .deb package ===
2. run as root (the version number might have increased a bit)
dpkg --install context_2011context_2021.03.05.18.2011062720220211-1_all.deb
mtxrun --generate
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.
