ok, this is almost 10 years old

yes, it is only needed to do "make install" as root and put the binary
in /usr/local/bin or wherever suitable

no, if you copied or symlinked the binaries to a PATH directory then
you are fine.
a side question: is it really necessary to distribute milonga in a
virtual machine?
1. in any decently-new distribution, a couple of "apt-gets" plus
"configure & make" get you going
2. for sure something similar can be done in MacOS for those who like
to spend a lot of USD whilst giving away their freedom
3. if the virtual machine is distributed because it contains another
piece of engineering software which is difficult to install, I would
disregard such piece of engineering software as a teaching tool
4. if the virtual machine is distributed because students do not know
how to install GNU/Linux, then I would not give any engineering degree
to such student (seriously)
in any case, a far superior approach would be to have all the
engineering software running in a server which the students may access
through ssh with their laptops (assuming that is the current approach).
Servers usually have several gigabytes of memory and use SSD for
storage.
actually the best scenario would be something like we had when we were
students, remember "egipcias" and "la salita"? sniff...
