Gutsy will be released in October 2007. Its repositories, which came from Debian unstable just after feisty (7.04) was released, already have the texlive 2007 and recent ConTeXt packages. So you could use them now (if you are brave).See here: [[ConTeXt_Minimals#Installing_third_party_modules|Installing third party modules]]

Here are instructions grouped according to the version of Ubuntu you are running.
== Maverick (10With Ubuntu packages – should work with Ubuntu 7.10) with Ubuntu packages and above ==
TeX Live and ConTeXt have been part of Ubuntu's main repositories since Ubuntu 7.10, so you can simply
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 With ConTeXt Minimals – should work with all Ubuntu Versions==
Example of setting up [[ConTeXt Minimals]]:
Addthese three lines:
export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts:/usr/share/fonts
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.)
== Gutsy (7.10) =Installing third party modules in ConTeXt Minimals===
== Edgy (6.10) and Feisty (7.04) =Updating ConTeXt Minimals=== Unfortunately, you cannot use the repository given in The update procedure is similar to [[Debian installationConTeXt_Minimals#Updating|the normal procedure]] because . If you installed the Debian packages were compiled ConTeXt Minimals with the commands from above, you can update to a new (very very slightlybeta) newer libc6 than the one that comes with Ubuntu 7.04. 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>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>version like this: <nowiki>deb http: cd /usr/web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgylocal/context deb-src wget http://webminimals.mitcontextgarden.edu/downloadnet/sanjoysetup/texlivefirst-backports/ edgy/</nowiki> Then you can install the texlive 2007 and recent context packagessetup. See the [[Debian installation]] instructions for the details, but here is the quickstart:sh apt-get update apt-get install cm-super texlive-fonts-recommended context context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree 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 3firstsetup.0 packages, which will be removed automatically by the above installation line. To test whether the basics of ConTeXt are working after the upgrade, try: ctxtools sh --contextversion Let me (Sanjoy) know if you find anything broken.keep
