ConTeXt anew-but where?

Dear NTG-ConTeXt list members,[a] Excuse me that I will have to send this email in html format. The very format of this email is not meant to offend anyone consciously (even if perceived so). Paragraph beginnings [a] through [e] may lead you the way, instead.[b] A NEW(er) PROBLEM: After I have decided to re-instal ConTeXt because my previous installation (dating from last quarter of 2014) was from some time on un-updatable (maybe some remember a question posted to this list by me in one of the months passed), a folder named "context" in which one can lay down/ find a skript file (.sh) that is the pivot of "any" update to come IS APPARENTLY ABSENT.[c] WHY COULD THAT BE OF INTEREST? ...simply because I wondered throughout this  second installation process whether there would be any question which path that very folder should finally have DID SIMPLY NOT SURFACE (the old "context" folder formerly in "/home/myUsername" was discarded).[d] QUESTION: Where, consequently, on a Kubuntu Linux
operating system (version LTS 14.04 on a 64bit architecture) was one to look for that folder to be able to eventually perform an update via command line (= bash console) as "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone" [Ref-1] describes what the user should do in advance to any update attempt, and thus, following installation? I feel awkward when it comes to that issue as I already asked for an update option earlier.[e] Thank you very much for your precious time.Best regards,Markus Hofstetter

when you install context from the context garden in

/foo/bar/context

using the first-setup script, you can just run that script again in 
order to update your installation
