NOTE: Debian packages (or any other linux packages for that matter) usually contain way too old TeX distributions for ConTeXt MKIV (but should work fine for MKII). If you want to live on bleeding edge, consider using ConTeXt Minimals instead or at least install the latest version of TeX Live with TLContrib manually. |
Install the ConTeXt packages
Norbert Preining has produced reliable, complete ConTeXt packages for Debian.
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
- The final version in debian squeeze (aka debian stable 6.0) is 2009.11.26-2
- In unstable is a more recent version
- MKIV is broken in experimental: bug 609600
Install latest unstable context .deb package
unstable means (mature) development, the version number may changes. The software is stable 1. Download the .deb http://packages.debian.org/unstable/all/context/download
2. run as root
dpkg --install context_2011.05.18.20110626-1_all.deb mtxrun --generate
3. run as user
mtxrun --generate
You have now a system wide context-installation!

the Debian TeXlive install page.
