To have access to the currently not released 2.20 you'll need to
compile the branch stable/2.20 from the ly-git-repository. To do so
you need guilev1.
Though, isn't guile-1.8 available via synaptic?
At least for me, running Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit, it is...
Ofcourse this may be different for newer Ubuntu-versions or other OS...
