### 12.2 Notes for the MacOS X app

The scripts (such as lilypond-book, convert-ly, abc2ly, etc.) are also included inside MacOS X .app. They can be run from the command line by invoking them directly, e.g.

    path/to/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/convert-ly

Alternatively, you may add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file called `.profile` in your home directory such that it contains

    export PATH=$PATH:path/to/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin

This file should end with a blank line.

Note that path/to will generally be `/Applications/`.
