Install the ConTeXt packages
Norbert Preining has produced reliable, complete ConTeXt packages for Debian, and they use very recent versions of ConTeXt.
If you are running Debian sid or later, then the context
package should already be visible (and the context-nonfree
and context-doc-nonfree
packages are in the nonfree repository).
then do
aptitude update aptitude install context context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree
and apt will download and install the latest ConTeXt packages.
- The final version in debian squeeze (aka debian stable 6.0) is 2009.11.26-2
- in december 2010 a new experimental .deb package was built you can try it out: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/context
install latest experimental context .deb package
1. Download the .deb http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/context/download
2. run as root dpkg -i context_2010.07.30-1_all.deb
You have now a system wide context-installation!
