Hi Noeck,
Second reply, I was not reading to careful.
http://lilypond.org/unix.html before? There is a small "Install"
section. What was missing for you?
Yes I saw that, but it was missing install from shell. I really prefer
using apt-get because I have bad experience with download and install
because of the depencies hell.
So the message should be "do not us use apt-get because you will
retrieve probably version 2.16.2"
But even better, use a apt-get ppa repository, this you keep u to date
your self, without being dependant of Debian.
Like : https://launchpad.net/~frescobaldi/+archive/ubuntu/ppa (but the
status is unknown, and out of date)
This info is inconsistent with the Frescobaldi info, and my assumption
was Frescobaldi was correct. Which was wrong.
- Should it mention the --prefix option?
It would help, for me that was not crucial.
- Should it mention that you can have several versions installed in
parallel?
Yes it sure does. Because I had version 2.16.2 was installed and
Frescobaldi urge to uninstall previous version of python-ly because it
can cause inconsistency. Unfortunately I can not recall where I found
that info.
- Was only the Frescobaldi settings part new to you? Should it be
mentioned?
Yes it would. Installing Frescobaldi does install Lilypond, which is
very convenient, if it was the correct Lilypond version.
Frescobaldi should mention only the old version is installed, and go the
the Lilypond website for info how to install Lilypond 2.18.2.
I hope it does help others as well.
Thanks,
Bernard

Wow, Joram. Thank you very much. Did this work.
Glad it helped you.
Update the installation documentation with your info would help very much.
There was a similar question just a few days ago, so I take this request
for improvement seriously. Did you find the Linux download page
http://lilypond.org/unix.html before? There is a small "Install"
section. What was missing for you?

Where did we loose you?
Best,
