You don't need one. Just untar the file and that's it. I used: $ cd $ tar -zxvf path-to-my-archive/lilypond-2.23.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz $ mv -i lilypond-2.23.7 lilypond-2.23.7-linux-x86_64¹ I run it from a script as: $ ~/lilypond-2.23.7-linux-x86_64/bin/lilypond though some prefer it in their $PATH. I presume it's changed because it no longer needs all the wrapping that the old installer script did. ¹ I want the architecture in the directory name. Cheers, David.
