Re: Latest Lilypond versions on Ubuntu?

 I use Lilypond on Ubuntu and I just user the installer from
 lilypond.org.  Get the latest from here:

   http://lilypond.org/web/install/

 and then in a console,

 $ chmod +x lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh
 $ sudo ./lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh

This is correct but there is no need to make the script executable if
you launch it as an argument of the sh command, this way:

sudo sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh

As you are on the same directory the script is, and it is a regular
filename used as argument, also there is no need of the ./ part.

To uninstall, simply write sudo unin and press TAB, it will
autoexpand to uninstall-lilypond (unless you have more unin*
executables in your path)

Latest Lilypond versions on Ubuntu?

2008-01-09 Thread Jonas Nyström
Hi!

Where can I find information about how to install the latest Lilypond
versions on my Ubuntu machine?
No problem with the .deb versions I've found, but they're a bit dated...

I have been through this during the last couple of weeks!  To be fair,
LilyPond wasn't a problem, but jEdit and LilyPondTool caused several
headaches.

For LilyPond, uninstall the repository .deb(s) (lilypond/emacs
files/documentation) and then use the installer script from
lilypond.org/web/install/.  Install as root sudo sh
./lilypond-2.11.37-1.linux-x86.sh, which will put it in
/usr/local/lilypond/ and a link in /usr/local/bin.  For CLI use, that's all.

If you want to use jEdit and LilyPondTool, jedit-4.3-pre11 is the latest
version that works with Linux (then with some limitations).

This has changed recently.   2.10.33 is available for Debian sid by 
apt-get.

If you already have another version installed, it will give you
instructions for uninstalling it first.

Dated, but not as dated as I thought.  I have just checked and
apparently, version 2.10.25 is available for Feisty - only 8 minor
versions old!  Last time I checked (Edgy, 2 versions older than
Feisty) it was still 2.6, which I wouldn't have considered touching
even when Edgy was released.  My guess is that a Lilypond fan has
recently joined the Ubuntu development team.

Regards,

Joe
