You have to execute
. setuptex
ie. [dot] setuptex in that specific folder and than tex will work in
that shell only.
I've put something equivalent to
cd /usr/local/cont/tex
. setuptex
cd
into my .bashrc. I'm not sure that that's the proper and most elegant
solution, but it was the only one that I found to be working. (An
alternative would surely be a "smart copy" of contents of setuptex to
.bashrc.)

If setuptex was executed properly, it should already be in your PATH.
If not, other environmental variables needed to run TeX properly are
not set either, so the formats will not be copied where they were
supposed to be.

You can't download it. texexec --make --all (or --make --alone, it
doesn't really matter I guess) should create it and copy it to the
proper destination. If it didn't, ConTeXt won't work properly either
since the rest of the needed environmental variables are not set
properly.
