I'm new to the mailing list. I'm hoping that someone can give me some help with getting LilyPond to run on the command line. I followed the steps at http://www.lilypond.org/macos-x.html for installation. I then got through step 3, creating lilypond-book, convert-ly, etc. However, I'm stuck on chmod u+x lilypond. That returns an error:

chmod: lilypond: No such file or directory.

Make sure you are in the correct directory, as explained on the website. Type these two commands in the terminal:

cd ~/bin
ls

If you see a file called lilypond, then you can change the permissions:

chmod +x lilypond


Daniel,

instead of asking the same question elsewhere¹, you'd better try to understand what you made wrong and maybe study the basics of command line usage.

We'd be glad to help if you can show us what you did exactly.
Open a terminal, start from step 1 and when you get stuck copy&paste all the text in the terminal and send it here.
