The wiki is a bit out of date, but there is a complete page on Linux installations: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation After following those instructions, everything should be ok except for the new ruby script links and texmfstart's warning. For that, do the following: * make sure you have ruby installed. If not, do that first * go to the scripts/context/stubs/unix/ directory in your freshly unpacked ConTeXt distribution, make sure you have write permissions to the TeX binaries directory, and run something like the shell script that follows. I turned on the interaction of rm and cp, but there are NO GUARANTEES! My skill in shell programming is pretty awful.
