Wolfgang,
Anders is right, it's that simple and does not need assistance :-)-O
What he forgot is that you must run Tools -> Reconfigure after
installation and then Quit and start LyX again.
If the individual is computer literate, and is concerned about disk
space, I would install the Basic package from the same web site however,
and then on occasion install missing packages with the tlmgr
(there is a Tex Live Utility).
I did that on my airbook and it works so well, that I do same on both
the iMac at home and at the practice. Synchronization needs a little
thought but is easy with something like
tlmgr info|grep ^i|awk '{print \$2}'|sed s/://g
giving all installed files which one feeds into the tlmgr on the other host.
And after each installation of a package that LyX needs to know about,
such as fonts. Linux Libertine does not come by default in the Basic for
example but installs with the tlmgr. LyX then needs a Reconfigure to
become aware of it.
If you start from scratch writing LyX documents it's less of a hassle
because you are aware of what specific LateX packages you include and
thus must install and make available. Using an existing document
sometimes gives a cryptic error, but the log files then show the missing
package.
And of course there is this newsgroup where one can ask :-)-O
