There are pre-made binary tarballs on the Lilypond site you can use. Go to http://lilypond.org/index.html and on the right side of the page are two download links - one for the current stable release (currently 2.24.3) and one for the current development version (currently 2.25.10). Follow whichever one you want, download the tar.gz and unpack it into the directory of your choice. It'll then be pretty much ready to use. I've got a lilypond directory in my home directory I unpack them into, but really you can put them pretty much wherever you want. -- Michael
