Installing minimals is sometimes a problem. Because of this I wrote a BASH script to automate it. Attached is the script I wrote to easily install the minimals.

It installs in ${HOME}/ConTeXt but because I work with DRY it is easily changed.

It generate almost no output:
    20:47:01: fetch script
    20:47:02: first setup
    20:53:23: generate MKII
    20:54:07: generate XeTeX
    20:54:49: generate MKIV
    20:55:18: Installing/updating ConTeXt took 497 seconds
    20:55:18: before using ConTeXt you have to run: '. /home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex'

But the output can be found in ${HOME}/ConTeXt/install.log if needed.
