it does not really matter where you install it, as long as it comes
first in the search path
the search order is set in the $TEXMF variable, which you can adapt if
needed, for instance things like
mkdir /lets/do/it/my/way/tex
chdir /lets/do/it/my/way/tex
unzip cont-tmf.zip
MYTREE=/lets/do/it/my/way/tex
export MYTREE
TEXMF={$MYTREE,.....}
export TEXMF
mktexlsr
texmfstart texexec --make --all
should work(in principle)
but ... isn't there a texmf-local path?
another option is:
run: kpsewhich --progname=context context.tex
see what path is reported
goto the texmf root of that path
unzip context there
run mktexlsr
etc
for the rest ... tetex has a rather complex path set up (any combination
of usr, home, local, texmf, var, ... could be in use -) so in case of
doubt you need to take a look at your expanded $TEX... environment
variables in order to see
you can give this a try:
tmftools --expand-var=*
(given that tmftools is on your system)
