Dear Dario,

Personally, I think adding the `lilypond-2.24.1/bin` directory to $PATH
is the best way to handle this, whether you placed lilypond-2.24.1 in
the user's home directory or somewhere else.

There are no installation programs anymore since 2.24.  Lilypond stands on its own and is self-contained.  There are, however, extensive instructions for how to get LilyPond and Frescobaldi working in a GNU Linux system:

Here are the installation instructions for a GUI install: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/graphical-setup-under-gnu_002flinux 
And here are the same instructions, but from the command line: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/command-line-setup
