upgrading to 2.19.83-1 from 2.18.2 on Linux Mint

[wmilmoe]

Oh well I tried

i downloaded

lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh

from this

GNU/Linux 64: LilyPond 2.19.83-1

 

button

at

http://lilypond.org/development.html

I tried to upgrade using Synaptic package Manager but that only showed 2.18.2 which i have installed.

So, I read up on sh files and got this far

sudo sh lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh --help
lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball
Options
  --batch             no interaction
  --doc               [attempt to] download and install documentation
  --prefix PREFIX     install into PREFIX/lilypond (default: /usr/local)
  --help              this help
  --tarball           extract tar file for archive

perhaps I am just one step away but I am willing to wait for confirmation if I am supposed to type this:

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond tarball

 

or

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh - install LilyPond --tarball

or

sudo lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64.sh -tarball

one last attempt

sudo pip install --upgrade lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64

gave me this error message

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for lilypond-2.19.83-1.linux-64
removing the -1.linux-64 didn't help one bit either.

Thank you so very much for your help...
