Dear LilyPonders,
I downloaded LilyPond 2.24.4 ("stable") for MacOS Ventura, but there
is no Installer.
The documentation
<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/graphical-setup-under-macos>
tells how to install Frescobaldi, but not the simple version I'm
accustomed to using.
No, it tells you actually, at the beginning:
"""
Download LilyPond for macOS from Download. The file will be an archive
called ‘lilypond-x.y.z-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz’ (where “darwin”
means it’s for macOS). In the Finder, extract this archive. Place the
resulting directory lilypond-x.y.z-darwin-x86_64 in a permanent
location; the actual folder doesn’t matter, you just need to put it
somewhere you won’t move it afterwards. For example, you could choose
your home folder.
"""
LilyPond is no longer installed through an installer. You extract an
archive and use the binaries inside it.
If you choose Frescobaldi, you can add the path to that directory in
the preferences.
If you prefer the command line, you might want to add the path to your
PATH env variable inside ~/.bash_profile so you don't have to type the
full path to run it. Perhaps this information might be added here:
