Re: Error when trying to install LilyPond under kubuntu

[Mats Bengtsson]

You have to replace the X.Y.Z with the actual version number of the file 
you downloaded.

First of all, make sure that your working directory is the directory 
where you downloaded
your file. Then, the easiest way to get the filename correct is to let 
the command shell automatically
fill in the file name. So, type in
sh lily
and then press the TAB key, which fills in the file name and results in 
something like
sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh
Then you can press enter.
I would recommend you to do this as root, since then the lilypond 
program will installed in
/usr/local/bin/
which should be included in your search path by default. If you run the 
installation as a
normal user, the lilypond program will instead be installed in 
$HOME/bin/, which on most
Linux installations means that you have to add $HOME/bin/ to your $PATH 
environment
variable in order to be able to run the program.
