-It is not possible to compile LilyPond on Windows, and extremely
-difficulty to compile it on MacOS X.  We have therefore made a

-Install some virtualization software.

-Any virtualization tool can be used, but we recommend VirtualBox:
-
-@example
-@uref{http://@/www.virtualbox.org/@/wiki/@/Downloads}
-@end example
-
-In virtualization terminology, your main operating system is the
-@qq{host}.

-Install @file{lilybuntu.iso} as the @qq{client} operating system
-on your virtualized system.

-The latest version of lilybuntu is based on Ubuntu 9.04; if you
-encounter any difficulties installing it, search for one of the
-many tutorials for installing Ubuntu 9.04 as a client operating

-must select @qq{Install Ubuntu}.

-If possible, use at least 700 MB of RAM (1GB would be better) for
-the virtual machine, and use a dynamically expanding virtual hard
-drive.  A complete compile of everything (code, docs, regression
-tests) can reach 10 GB.
