4.2.1 Requirements for running LilyPond
This section contains the list of separate software packages that are required to run LilyPond.
- DejaVu fonts These are normally installed by default.
- FontConfig Use version 2.4.0 or newer.
- Freetype Use version 2.3.9 or newer.
- Ghostscript Use version 9.03 or newer.
- Guile Use version 1.8.8. It is possible to build LilyPond with version 2.x of Guile and most features will work, but this is not officially supported (yet). In particular, performance and especially the startup time will be worse.
- Pango Use version 1.36 or newer.
- Python Use version 3.5 or newer.

International fonts. For example:
Fedora:
fonts-arabic fonts-hebrew fonts-ja fonts-xorg-truetype taipeifonts ttfonts-ja ttfonts-zh_CN
Debian based distributions:
emacs-intl-fonts fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-ipafont-mincho xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi xfonts-cronyx-75dpi xfonts-cronyx-100dpi xfonts-intl-.*
These are normally installed by default and are required only to create music with international text or lyrics.
