Note that Ubuntu's packaged version of ConTeXt is quite old (circa 2009), so a better option for advanced users is..to scan all the font directories.Then run
Example of setting up [ConTeXt Minimals]:to list all the fonts LuaTeX now knows about. Finally, run
$ 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 ~/.bashrcreload
Add:to make sure ConTeXt's font cache is up to date.
export If you are using TeXworks, you need to make sure that OSFONTDIR=~/is set in the environment TeXworks runs in, because ConTeXt may decide it needs to rescan fonts.fonts:/usr/share/fonts export TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex export PATH=/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:/usr/local/context/bin:$PATH
Note that the order of items in the PATH is significant. If you put /usr/local/context/bin in the path first, you will get an error at run time.== With ConTeXt Standalone – should work with all Ubuntu versions==
== Gutsy (7.10) ==Example of setting up [[ConTeXt Standalone]]:
Gutsy will be released in October 2007 sudo mkdir /usr/local/context sudo chown yourusername /usr/local/context cd /usr/local/context wget http://minimals. Its repositories, which came from Debian unstable just after feisty (7contextgarden.04) was released, already have the texlive 2007 and recent ConTeXt packagesnet/setup/first-setup. So you could use them now (if you are brave)sh sh first-setup.sh vi ~/.bashrc
== Edgy (6.10) and Feisty (7.04) ==Add these three lines:
Unfortunately, you cannot use the repository given in [[Debian installation]] because the Debian packages were compiled with a (very very slightly) newer libc6 than the one that comes with Ubuntu 7 export OSFONTDIR=~/.04. Here instead are slightly tested packages backported for Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy); they also work on my Feisty (7.04) laptop. To use them put these two lines in your <tt>fonts:/usr/share/fonts export TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex export PATH=/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/etcusr/aptlocal/sources.list<context/tt>bin:$PATH

Then Also, remember that you can install have to source ~/.bashrc after changing it, in order to have the texlive 2007 and recent context packageschanges take effect in your current shell. See the [[Debian installation]] instructions for the details(Either that, but here is the quickstart:or start a new shell.)
apt-get update apt-get install cm-super texlive-fonts-recommended context context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree===Installing third party modules in ConTeXt Standalone ===
That command also installs the needed texlive packages for pdftex, metapost, lmodern etc. The <tt>cm-super</tt> package is in the ''universe'' repository so you'll need that enabled in your <tt>sources.list</tt>. You should not need to chase down the old teTeX 3.0 packages, which will be removed automatically by the above installation line. To test whether the basics of ConTeXt are working after the upgrade, trySee here:[[ConTeXt_Standalone#Installing_third_party_modules|Installing third party modules]]

→With Ubuntu packages – should work with Ubuntu 7.10 and above
Here are instructions grouped according to the version of for ConTeXt installation on Ubuntu you are runningand its derivatives [K/X/L]ubuntu.
== Maverick Precompiled / Packaged Nightly Builds From PPA == Adam Reviczky was most generous to provide us with an Ubuntu PPA (10Personal Package Archive) that contains precompiled Ubuntu packages for both ConTeXt and LuaTeX nightlies.10) Instructions for your version of Ubuntu are available for [https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/context-daily ConTeXt] and [https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/luatex-daily LuaTeX]. == With Ubuntu packages – should work with Ubuntu 16.04 and above == Note that Ubuntu's packaged version of ConTeXt is quite old ([https://packages .ubuntu.com/search?keywords==context circa 2015]), so a better option is the ConTeXt Standalone.
TeX Live and ConTeXt have been part of Ubuntu's main repositories since Ubuntu 7.10, so you can simply
apt-get install context
to install ConTeXt and its dependencies(LuaTeX is part of the [https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=texlive-binaries texlive-binaries] package).
The dependencies pull in various PDF utilities which you will probably find useful, including <code>pdfcrop</code>.

* Setting up [[Setting up TeXworks]] * Setting up [[Using LuaTeX in UbuntuScite]] === Adding the system fonts === The standard Ubuntu LuaTeX package does not scan any of your installed system fonts. Therefore you will want to set up the OSFONTDIR environment variable to point to all the font paths. For example: export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts:/usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/:/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/fonts/ Once you have done that, run mtxrun --script fonts --reload If you have an error do this luatools --generate
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern== Maverick (10.10) with ConTeXt Minimals ==*
===Updating ConTeXt Standalone===The update procedure is similar to [[ConTeXt_Standalone#Updating|the normal procedure]]. If you installed the ConTeXt Standalone with the commands from above, you can update to a new (beta) version like this: ctxtools cd /usr/local/context wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh ./first-setup.sh --contextversionkeep
