How to update ConTeXt

How to update ConTeXt

[Arkady Shraer]

Hello,

I just downloaded file cont-tmf.zip from pragma-ade site.
Can I update my ConTeXt with the contents of the archive or I have to
do other manipulations?
I'm using tetex distribution in Ubuntu 6.06.

cd to texmf-local (or its equivalent in Ubunto) and unzip the file there; then run texexec --make --all 

if you have a recent context, you can update with 

ctxtools --update 

which will download the xip, unpack it and remake the formats 

(if you are a mac user, just use gerbens installer to update)

Before reading this post I tried just replace files in existing
ConTeXt directory -- it fails to compile lang-cyr.tex and give me some
other errors.
I'll try your way.
