​Ben and David -

Thanks for your help. Worked beautifully. Did the "wget", then ran "sh",
and it's in!

If you navigate to the link for a large download, the best way
to fetch it is to rightclick on the link and select
Copy Link Location
Then, at the commandline, type   wgetand paste the link.

wget 
http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/linux-64/lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh

If the link has spaces in it, enclose it in "".

What's the benefit? If the download is interrupted and you have to
repeat it, make sure you're in the same directory and, when you
restart it, it'll will carry on from where it got up to.

The LilyPond binary is marginal, but the documentation tarball is huge.

Cheers,
David.

Hi -

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

off-line) to help me figure out how to download and install Ly

Thanks for your help,

Hi Ralph,

No problem. Easy peasy :) Here's what you need to do:

1) Download binary:
http://lilypond.org/downloads/binaries/linux-64/

*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


if you want to install to a certain location, just add this:

sh 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 <

download < lilypond-2.19.81-1.linux-64.sh

but when I tried to open it through terminal, it said "sh: 0: Can't

tried again, both in /Downloads and at my :~$ prompt, and in both

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. :)
