+The following commands were tested on Ubuntu versions @code{14.04 LTS},
+@code{14.10} and @code{15.04} and include all the software to both
+compile LilyPond and build the documenation.
+
+@itemize
+
+@item
+Download and install all the LilyPond build-dependencies (approximately
+200MB);
+
+@example
+sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond
+@end example
+
+@item
+Download and install additional @q{build} tools required for compiling;
+
+@example
+sudo apt-get install autoconf fonts-texgyre texlive-land-cyrillic
+@end example
+
+@item
+Although not @q{required} to compile LilyPond, if you intend to
+contribute to LilyPond (codebase or help improve the documentation) then
+it is recommended that you also need to install @code{git}.
+
+@example
+sudo apt-get install git
+@end example
+
+Also see @ruser{Starting with Git}.

+The following individual software packages are required just to compile
+LilyPond.

+@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf, GNU Autoconf}
+
+@item
+@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/, GNU Bison}
+
+Use version @code{2.0} or newer.
+
+@item
+@uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/, GNU Compiler Collection}
+
+Use version @code{3.4} or newer (@code{4.x} recommended).

+@uref{http://fontforge.sf.net/, FontForge}
+
+Use version @code{20060125} or newer (we recommend using at least
+@code{20100501}); it must also be compiled with the
+@option{--enable-double} switch, else this can lead to inaccurate
+intersection calculations which end up with poorly-rendered glyphs in
+the output.
+
+@item
+@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html, GNU gettext}
+
+Use version @code{0.17} or newer.
