It should only take about five minutes or so. Obviously I don't how how ancient or modern your box is, but I run the lilypond-2.19.42.1 (linux-x86) download on Debian, both jessie and wheezy, alongside their own Debian-installed versions which are respectively 2.18.2 and 2.14.2 (from 2011). The system pythons are 2.7.9 and 2.7.3, the ghostscripts 9.06 and 9.05. The LP download comes bundled with python 2.4.5 and ghostscript 9.05. Neither system appears to interfere with the other.
