== Unix (linux/bsd/...) ==
* Alternatively, if you need '''just ConTeXt and no LaTeX''', you can use the [[ConTeXt Standalone]] installation. The ConTeXt Standalone installation does not require the de-installation of other TeX distributions and can be used in parallel.
 
 
 
=== Debian / (K)Ubuntu ===
=== Fedora ===
Deatils Detils for [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora] version 11, 12 and 13 are at [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive Fedora Project Wiki TeX Live page] maintained by Jindrich Novy. The repository provides a snapshot of TeX Live 2010 tlpretest, and it includes very new ConTeXt packages and requires absolutely no manual configuration to get working Mk II and Mk IV. Highly recommended. 
=== funtoo ===
=== freeBSD ===
FreeBSD still relies on teTeX in the ports collection. Alternately, TeXlive is now available as a branch extension, see [http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/wiki/Installing] and [http://romain.blogreen.org/blog/2011/08/texlive-2011-on-freebsd/], until migration to the main ports branch is completed.  [[TeX Live]] as a standalone installation will run "out of the box" on all recent versions of freeBSD (7, 8, 9)and extended support is available for earlier versions; The [[ConTeXt Standalone]] installation is compiled for the latest stable release (currently 8.2). === OpenBSD === * [[OpenBSD installation|OpenBSD]]
