Each successive version of Here are instructions for ConTeXt installation on Ubuntu becomes easier to update, which is why the following sections, arranged in reverse chronological order, get successively longerand its derivatives [K/X/L]ubuntu.
The latest Debian Adam Reviczky was most generous to provide us with an Ubuntu PPA (Personal Package Archive) that contains precompiled Ubuntu packages starting with for both ConTeXt 2007.03and LuaTeX nightlies.19 require the texlive 2007 packages. Unfortunately, those packages are built against libpoppler0c2, which hasn't shipped on Ubuntu in an age. And it's not easy to recompile it against libpoppler1, which is part Instructions for your version of Ubuntuare available for [https://launchpad.

UnfortunatelyNote that Ubuntu's packaged version of ConTeXt is quite old (circa 2009), you cannot use the repository given in [[Debian installation]] because the Debian packages were compiled with so a (very very slightly) newer libc6 than better option is the one that ships with Ubuntu 7.04. Here instead are very untested packages backported to Ubuntu 7.04:ConTeXt Standalone

The following instructions are for those who cannot (or do not wish to) upgrade.run
Ubuntu 5.10 does not include a TeX installation by default. The distribution that you get when you install TeX is teTeX context -2.0.2, which is too old and will not work with recent ConTeXt versions. So you should not install it, but follow the instructions for [[TeTeX_3.0_installation]]. However, you first must install supplementary packages not included in Ubuntu by default (and I hope I'm not forgetting anything; a number of dependencies will automatically be installed as well):-reload

If you put /usr/local/context/bin in the path first, or you will get errors during an error at run time. Also, remember that you have to source ~/.bashrc after changing it, in order to have the compilation changes take effect in your current shell. (Either that, or have problems running start a new shell.) ===Installing third party modules in ConTeXt Standalone === See here: [[ConTeXt_Standalone#Installing_third_party_modules|Installing third party modules]] ===Updating ConTeXt Standalone===The update procedure is similar to [[ConTeXt_Standalone#Updating|the normal procedure]].
