4.2.1 Requirements for running LilyPond
This section contains the list of software packages that are
required to run LilyPond (this is, to successfully execute the
lilypond binary and its subprograms to output a PDF, and
to execute other programs like lilypond-book that are
installed, too).
Additional software packages are necessary to compile LilyPond from its sources; this gets handled in a later section.
