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
If you are on Debian (Etch) you need to do some additional steps
mkdir -p .textmf-var/web2c cd .textmf-var cp ../texmf/*.fmt web2c/ 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
tex : pdfeTeXk, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
