4.6.1 Installing LilyPond from a local build
If you configured make to install your local build in a
directory where you normally have write permission (such as your
home directory), and you have compiled LilyPond by running
make, you can install the program in your target
directory by running:
make install
If instead, your installation directory is not one that you can
normally write to (such as the default ‘/usr/local/’, which
typically is only writeable by the superuser), you will need to
temporarily become the superuser when running
make install:
sudo make install
or…
su -c 'make install'
If you don’t have superuser privileges, then you need to configure the installation directory to one that you can write to, and then re-install. See Configuring target directories.
