        Now that Ly 2.18.0 is out, those of us who use Frescobaldi
        need to update the manuals it refers to in its Documentation
        Browser tab.

        Nowhere can I find instructions for how to do that. In the
        Preferences modal window it is possible to indicate a path to
        "the documentation", but that documentation comes in multiple
        forms, so I'm at a fork in the road with no map. What does
        Frescobaldi need?


    Frescobaldi needs just a new location for the 2.18  doc.
    The quickest way is using the new online url:
    http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18

    You may need updating the documentation browser with Ctrl+R.

    If you want to use the offline documentation, type this command
    (suggested in the download page):

    sh lilypond-2.18.0-OS-TYPE.sh <http://lilypond-2.18.0-OS-TYPE.sh>
    --help

    and you'll see an option to download the documentation.

    That option doesn't work unless the doc tarball is already
    downloaded and in the same folder as the install sh. Otherwise it
    tries to append some of the local path to the doc tarball download
    link and the download fails:


It worked perfect for me. I downloaded the 64bit version and installed it as normal user in my home directory.
I have manuals version 2.18.0 here:

This is weird.
I've used --doc in the past (for stable versions only) and it always worked.
Can you  try installing as normal user?

The problem happens if you specify a path to the install sh. If I cd to the folder holding the file and just run

sudo sh lilypond-2.18.0-1.linux-64.sh <http://lilypond-2.18.0-1.linux-64.sh> --doc

then the doc tarball starts downloading ok. If I have

sudo sh /path/to/lilypond-2.18.0-1.linux-64.sh <http://lilypond-2.18.0-1.linux-64.sh> --doc

then the attempted download fails because /path/to gets appended to where the doc download is attempted from the internet.
