→‎Maverick (10.10): Added note about running minimals instead of distro packages.

Here are instructions grouped according to the version of Ubuntu you are running.

== Maverick (10.10) with Ubuntu packages ==

TeX Live and ConTeXt have been part of Ubuntu's main repositories since Ubuntu 7.10, so you can simply

* [[Setting up TeXworks]]

* [[Using LuaTeX in Ubuntu]]

Note that Ubuntu's packaged version of ConTeXt is quite old (circa 2009), so a better option for advanced users is...

== Maverick (10.10) with ConTeXt Minimals ==

Example of setting up [ConTeXt Minimals]:

$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/context

$ sudo chown yourusername /usr/local/context

$ cd /usr/local/context

$ wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh

$ sh first-setup.sh

$ vi ~/.bashrc

Add:

export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts:/usr/share/fonts

export TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex

export PATH=/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:/usr/local/context/bin:$PATH

Note that the order of items in the PATH is significant. If you put /usr/local/context/bin in the path first, you will get an error at run time.

== Gutsy (7.10) ==
