Since there is no binary package for Mageia5 you will need to compile from source. This is easy, the file INSTALL in the LyX source package lists some instructions. However, it might be a bit more difficult to find out how exactly the prerequisite packages are called on Mageia5, e.g. the development package for qt. If a prerequiste is missing then the configure script will tell you, and if you don't find the correct package to install then ask on the list, probably someone will know how to find the package from the configure error message.
