Re: Lilypond on Ubuntu

[David Stocker]

Hi Craig,

I too have a Compaq Presario 2100 running Ubuntu 8.04.

You'll want to browse to http://lilypond.org/web/install/ and download 
the binary package for "Any x86". You'll also probably want to grab the 
Documentation and burn it to the same CD. Once you have it on CD, just 
copy the files to your Ubuntu desktop and follow the installation 
instructions for the shell script (where it says "do sh lilypond..."

For the documentation tarball, extract it to a convenient location (like 
/home//yourusername//lilypond-documentation) on your hard disk and then 
create a bookmark for it in your favorite web browser. That way you 
won't have to be online to read the documentation.

Then, enjoy LilyPond!

Cheers,

Dave
