oh, ok. You don't have lilydev, or lilybuntu, or anything related to the stuff that Jonathan prepared. That's a plain old ubuntu install. Nothing wrong with it -- it's what I use on most of my computers -- but you need more linux knowledge to get it set up. You're just not benefitting from the work we did on lilydev to make it easier for contributors. > >sudo isn't needed.

You're looking at /bin or /usr/bin instead of $HOME/bin/ lilydev has a $HOME/bin/ which is a "more proper" place to put stuff like this. Umm... it's kind-of like putting a program in C:\Program Files\dir\ instead of dumping stuff in C:\Windows\System\ Both methods will work, but one of them feels a bit "off". > >and then try: > > git-cl > >you should get a "git cl help" message at this point. > > Yup :-). Is the CG in error - it says git cl, not git-cl?

If you got some output with git-cl (or git cl), then follow those two lines exactly. git pull -r git cl upload origin/master When we make version 2.0 of lilydev, I'd recommend getting that instead of using mainstream ubuntu. But your system should be fine for now.
