== Install teTeX 3{{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).0 ==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.}}
Lucky Debian users can install official == Install the ConTeXt packages from <code>testing</code>or from <code>unstable</code>.==
Just do: # apt-get install tetex-bin tetex-extraThe status of ConTeXt in Debian/unstable is currently up to date with TeX Live 2021, and includes all the necessary bits and pieces, plus the modules shipped in TeX Live.
You may verify it withIf you are running Debian sid or later, then the <code>context</code> and <code>dpkg -l tetexcontext-bin tetex-extramodules</code>,it packages should show something like Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii tetex-bin 3already be visible.0-14 The teTeX binary files ii tetex-extra 3.0-14 Additional library files of teTeXThen do
== Install a [[pdfTeX]] aptitude update == aptitude install context context-modules
I wonder why * The final version in debian bullseye (aka debian stable 11.2) is 2020.03.10.20200331-1* In 'Install 'unstable'' is a pdftex update' ?version that is from the TeX Live 2021
The Debian tetex-bin === Install latest unstable context .deb package contains a pdftex program===
I suggest to delete this paragraph<tt>unstable</tt> means ''(mature) development'', the version number may changes. The software is ''stable''
== Install 2. run as root (the version number might have increased a [[MetaPost]] update ==bit) dpkg --install context_2021.03.05.20220211-1_all.deb mtxrun --generate
{{todo| why a meta post update? }}3. run as user mtxrun --generate
== Install a [[Latin Modern]] font 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.
Under Debian, root as just to ask :You have now a system wide context-installation!
<code> # apt-get install lmodern pts-tetex-cm-super</code>== See also ==
The configuration/update is handled by apt-get On newer versions you do<code> # apt-get install lmodern cm-super</code> == Install the latest ConTeXt == Fetch the current distro from Pragma ADE:[[http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip cont-tmf.zip]] As a user, I would advise to install context in ~/texmf (~ refers to the current user home directory) mkdir texmf cd texmf wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip unzip cont-tmf.zip texexec --make == Finished! == That should do it! The output of <code>texexec --version</code> is hopefully like this:<code> TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeXk, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2005.10.27 cont-en : ver: 2005.10.27 fmt: 2005.11.1 mes: english</code>{{Installation navbox}}

→Install the ConTeXt packages: - typo fix
1. Download the two .deb--[[Users http:Stappers|Stappers]] 12//packages.debian.org/unstable/all/context/downloadhttp:31, 25 February 2006 (CET)//packages.debian.org/unstable/all/context-modules/download
Step 3. needs to be done only when you have files in TEXMFHOME or you change things there.
