The short answer is, yes, you can do that. The longer answer is that this is
usually not a good idea for something like gregorio. Unlike, say iTunes, that
Apple posts binary updates for from time to time, Gregorio is an open source
project that has periodic updates to its source code. The usual method to track
source code changes is to use CVS or SVN. Gregorio uses SVN. So one checks out
the source via SVN using:
svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gregorio/trunk
from the command line (Terminal.app). This checks out the initial source code
and dumps it into a directory (folder) called trunk. To see if the source is
updated, one would cd into trunk and do a:
svn up
That will update the source with any changes. If there are changes, then one
can recompile & reinstall. svn up will also tell you the current source
version. Since gregorio is very small, 26MB, it is best to leave it on your
drive.
Since you deleted the source, there is no way to get the SVN version number you
used. About all you can do is type 'gregorio -V' to see the version of the
gregorio tool. (FYI: it is gregorio version 2.1-svn) Since gregorio is more
than just this binary, it will not tell you all the details of what you
installed.
So, sad to say, check out gregorio again with SVN and compile & install. Then
we can go from there. You'll want to keep the source in case we need to tweak
it for your setup and for any future updates, so don't delete it. Oh! Also, SVN
updates are more regular than the downloads page, so the latest and greatest is
always in SVN and not via the downloads page. Stick it in your Documents folder
if you don't want it cluttering up your Desktop or home directory.
