Hi, Your best bet is to compile from source code itself if the distribution doesn't have Lilypond. As it sounds like you're using a Debian-based distribution, check if "sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond" works; if it doesn't, you will need to install the required development packages via apt-get. Be wary that one of Lilypond's dependencies, TeX, takes up quite a bit of space on the microSD card.
There is a set of instructions as to how to compile Lilypond on the website: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/contributor/compiling Below is a shortcut way to install Lilypond quickly. Refer to the above if needed. Standard procedure to install programs from source code: - download the stable version of the Lilypond source code, extract via "tar -xvf", and "cd" into the directory of the extracted folder. - install "build-essential" via apt-get - build-essential is a collection of libraries, compilers, and other tools used to help compile programs from source code. - run "./configure" and do install any missing dependencies (usually marked with a "-dev" at the end); keep looping until "./configure" finishes successfully. - run "make" then "sudo make install"; the processes may take time to finish, depending on the version of the Raspberry Pi. Hope that helps. Happy engraving. Best wishes, Jamie P.S. : I've noted that the compiling link is broken here on the source code page: http://lilypond.org/source.html On Tue, 18 Sep 2018 at 01:39, Vivyan <joel.ramsbot...@hotmail.co.uk> wrote: > Hi > > I need to run lilypond on the raspberry pi.
