Re: running on a MacBook

[William Rehwinkel]

    Hello Donna,
      
      macOS user here, what I do is download and unpack
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/v2.24.1/downloads/lilypond-2.24.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
      into my home directory at for example ~/lilypond-2.24.1/ , then
      symlink that directory to ~/lilypond/ , and add 
      
      export PATH="/Users/<USER>/lilypond/bin:$PATH"
      
      to the final line of ~/.profile
      
      -William
