342 The most convenient way to run lilypond scripts is by setting up
343 @qq{helper} scripts of your own.
348 Create a directory to store these scripts,
357 Create a file called @command{lilypond} which contains
359 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
361 exec @var{DIR}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@@"
365 @warning{@var{DIR} will generally be @code{/Applications/}}
369 Create similar files @command{lilypond-book},
370 @command{convert-ly}, and any other scripts you wish to use, by
371 replacing the @command{bin/lilypond} with @command{bin/convert-ly}
372 (or other program name).
376 Make the file executable,
384 Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file
385 called @code{.profile} in your home directory such that it
389 export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
392 This file should end with a blank line.
397 @subsubheading Invoking individual scripts
399 The scripts --- such as @command{lilypond-book}, @command{convert-ly},
400 @command{abc2ly}, and even @command{lilypond} itself --- are included
401 inside the @code{.app} file for MacOS@tie{}X.
403 Scripts can also be run from the command line by invoking them
406 @divClass{h-scroll-auto}
408 @var{path/to}/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond
412 The same is true for all other scripts in that directory, such as
413 @command{lilypond-book} and @command{convert-ly}.
