Thanks Taco, downloading the new zip seems to have some effect. It seems like I've made some progress. $ source ~/.context_env $PWD/tex Setting "/home/mohamed/context-installation-directory/tex" as TEXROOT. Before I do the rest, should I do $ texexec --make --alone or $ texexec --make (as per Han's recommendation?) And $ mktexlsr mktexlsr: Updating /home/mohamed/context-installation-directory/tex/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /home/mohamed/context-installation-directory/tex/texmf-context/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /home/mohamed/context-installation-directory/tex/texmf-linux-64/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done.

a. source ~/.context_env $PWD/tex => results in nothing.

What happens if you run the following command manually?

$ source $(HOME)/tex/setuptex $(HOME)/tex

(assuming you unpacked directly in your home)

Does (or rather "did") this even work in the old minimal distribution? I think that I had to CD to $HOME/tex and source setuptex from there.
