Hello,
Adding back the list in copy, please keep it so that everyone can
participate and benefit from the answers in the future.

I just type "Frescobaldi" in the terminal. In the 'frescobaldi' folder
there is actually a setup.py file. If I run it, I get this:
heroes:~ thiryjeanlouis$ cd '/Applications/frescobaldi-3.2/' &&
'/usr/bin/pythonw' '/Applications/frescobaldi-3.2/setup.py' && echo
Exit status :$? && exit 1
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: no commands supplied
very obscure to me!
The command provided in the INSTALL file is 'sudo python3 setup.py
install', you're missing 'install'.
Before trying to install, what do you get if, inside the
'frescobaldi' folder, you follow the procedure for running
Frescobaldi from this folder without installing, namely 'python3
frescobaldi’?
I'm not sure I understand the meaning of this sentence, is there a
difference between 'folder' and 'directory'?
No :-)
in the 'frescobaldi' folder I don't see anything that allows me to
follow a procedure to "run Frescobaldi from this folder without
installing it".
I was referring to the first sentence from INSTALL:
"""
You can run Frescobaldi without installing. Just unpack and then run:
python3 frescobaldi
See below for the required dependencies.
"""
If I type 'python3 frescobaldi' in the terminal, I get this:
python3 frescobaldi
The 'popplerqt5' module can't be found.
Frescobaldi can't find the 'popplerqt5' module. This module is
required for the display of PDF documents. The module is in the
python-poppler-qt5 package which needs to be installed.
Frescobaldi can run, but cannot display PDF documents.
Continuing...
The 'qpageview' module can't be found.
Frescobaldi can't find the 'qpageview' module. This module is required
for the Music View and other viewers inside Frescobaldi, and can be
downloaded from http://github.com/frescobaldi/qpageview.
Unfortunately, Frescobaldi cannot run without it.
Exiting.
Then you need to install those dependencies.
Before embarking in that: have you tried installing Frescobaldi from
MacPorts? It's likely a lot simpler than doing this setup yourself.
Install MacPorts if you don't already have it ...
https://www.macports.org/install.php
then type "sudo port install frescobaldi". See
https://ports.macports.org/port/frescobaldi/
Frescobaldi relies on Python modules that have external dependencies,
which makes the dependencies a bit complex to install if I recall
correctly, so I think you will save yourself time with this.

In other words: nothing
I'm really sorry, I feel really ignorant and I don't want to waste
your time with my more than basic questions (especially after 35 years
of Adobe Illustrator on a daily basis)
No problem here at all. Even if you were ignorant, that would not be a
valid reason for being sorry to ask questions on this list.
Cheers,
Jean
