Note If you are using TeXworks, you need to make sure that Ubuntu's packaged version of ConTeXt OSFONTDIR is quite old (circa 2009)set in the environment TeXworks runs in, so a better option for advanced users is..because ConTeXt may decide it needs to rescan fonts.
→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.
== Precompiled / Packaged Nightly Builds From PPA == Adam Reviczky was most generous to provide us with an Ubuntu PPA (Personal Package Archive) that contains precompiled Ubuntu packages for both ConTeXt and LuaTeX nightlies. 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 716.10 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 to scan all the font directories. Then run mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* to list all the fonts LuaTeX now knows about. Finally, run context --reload to make sure ConTeXt's font cache is up to date.
== With ConTeXt Minimals Standalone – should work with all Ubuntu Versionsversions==
Example of setting up [[ConTeXt MinimalsStandalone]]:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/context
export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts:/usr/share/fonts
export TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex
export PATH=/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/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.
Also, remember that you have to source ~/.bashrc after changing it, in order to have the changes take effect in your current shell. (Either that, or start a new shell.)
===Installing third party modules in ConTeXt MinimalsStandalone ===
See here: [[ConTeXt_MinimalsConTeXt_Standalone#Installing_third_party_modules|Installing third party modules]]
===Updating ConTeXt MinimalsStandalone===The update procedure is similar to [[ConTeXt_MinimalsConTeXt_Standalone#Updating|the normal procedure]]. If you installed the ConTeXt Minimals Standalone with the commands from above, you can update to a new (beta) version like this:
cd /usr/local/context
wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
./firstsetupfirst-setup.sh --keep {{Installation navbox}}
