Did you follow the French instructions or those from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation ? I don’t understand much of French and didn’t find installation instructions on that site. If your system is 32bit, of course you must use the 32bit Linux package.
But this didn't work neither in the console (I get the message "Le programme « context » n'est pas encore installé. Vous pouvez l'installer en tapant: sudo apt install context" - but this, I suppose will install the context from the linux distribution) , nor under TeXworks (message: "startup error: no format file given, quitting".
It’s not clear what you did. Apparently your context (or mtxrun) binary is not in the PATH. Hraban
