Install teTeX 3.0

Lucky Debian users can install official packages from testing or from unstable.

Just do:

 # apt-get install tetex-bin tetex-extra

You may verify it with dpkg -l tetex-bin tetex-extra, it should show something like

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  tetex-bin      3.0-14         The teTeX binary files
ii  tetex-extra    3.0-14         Additional library files of teTeX

Install a pdfTeX update

I wonder why 'Install a pdftex update' ?

The Debian tetex-bin package contains a pdftex program

I suggest to delete this paragraph

Install a MetaPost update


TODO: why a meta post update? (See: To-Do List)


Install a Latin Modern font update

Under Debian, root as just to ask :

 # apt-get install lmodern pts-tetex-cm-super

The configuration/update is handled by apt-get


On newer versions you do

 # apt-get install lmodern cm-super

Install the latest ConTeXt

Fetch the current distro from Pragma ADE: [cont-tmf.zip]

As a user, I would advise to install context in ~/texmf (~ refers to the current user home directory)

 mkdir texmf
 cd texmf
 wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
 unzip cont-tmf.zip
 texexec --make

Finished!

That should do it! The output of texexec --version is hopefully like this:

TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
              texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
              texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
