You do not type the command line into the ly file, you type it on the 
command line.  Have you used terminal?  If not, try reading this:

Note: I don't really know if this is a good introduction; I just spend 
two minutes googling for relevant terms, and this looked like the best 
one.

Once you are more familiar with the command line, try looking at the 
lilypond docs again... if there's still a problem, post again.
