Hi -
I'm runnning Linux via Ubuntu 16.04, with Frescobaldi 2.18.1.
I just had to reinstall Linux/Ubuntu, and the latest package
that's available through Frescobaldi in Ubuntu is 2.18.2, but I
have a lot of files that were written in or upgraded to 2.19.80.
I had previously installed 2.19.80 via the LilyPond website.
That, as far as I can tell, is not currently working.
I found the website for the binaries I need, but I have no clue
how to download them or run the install. I have a modicum of
experience with the terminal. Could someone respond (probably
off-line) to help me figure out how to download and install Ly
2.19.81?
Thanks for your help,
Ralph
Hi Ralph,
No problem. Easy peasy :) Here's what you need to do:
1) Download binary:
http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/linux-64/
<http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/linux-64/>
*lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh
<http://lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh> * 2018-01-28 19:51 30M
2) Install via terminal in Linux Mint/Ubuntu:
type this command -->
sh
lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh
<http://lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh>
if you want to install to a certain location, just add this:
sh lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh
<http://lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh> --prefix
/home/YourHomeFolder/LilyPond/etc...whatever you want
3) Enjoy LilyPond :)
Hope this helps!
Hi, and thanks, Ben -
I went to the download site <
http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/linux-64/ >, and tried to
download < lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh
<http://lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh> >. When I right-clicked on the
.sh link, there was no "download" option, so I opened it in a separate
tab. The browser tried to load it as a text file. I was able to
right-click on the page and do a "save as", with a ".sh" extension,
but when I tried to open it through terminal, it said "sh: 0: Can't
open lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh
<http://lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh>". Any suggestions? I just
tried again, both in /Downloads and at my :~$ prompt, and in both
cases got "sudo: sh: command not found".

Ralph,
What browser are you using? There should be a download option, yes. It's
also known as "save LINK as" ...
(see attached)
Once you do that, the command will work normally. :)
