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 [[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=*
Note that Ubuntuto list all the fonts LuaTeX now knows about. Finally, run  context --reload to make sure ConTeXt's packaged version of ConTeXt font cache is quite old (circa 2009)up to date. If you are using TeXworks, so a better option for advanced users you need to make sure that OSFONTDIR is..set in the environment TeXworks runs in, because ConTeXt may decide it needs to rescan fonts.
== With ConTeXt Standalone – should work with all Ubuntu versions==
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.
cd /usr/local/context
wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
./firstsetupfirst-setup.sh --keep {{Installation navbox}}
