Can you link to the instructions which did not work?
And what did not work exactly? Please paste the error.

You can try what you find here for Debian:
https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDev/blob/master/mkosi/debian/mkosi.postinst#L42

I've pasted the lines here and added sudo for the last two commands:

git clone -b branch_release-1-8 --single-branch 
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git guile-1.8
cd guile-1.8
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-error-on-warning --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
