We need 3 softwares: LaTex, GhostScript and ImageMagic. To install on Ubuntu, just execute in terminal:

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base
sudo apt-get install ghostscript
sudo apt-get install imagemagick

You can install them on other linux distributions with little different commands.

The L2P website is here. It is a perl script, you can run it on any linux OS with perl installed. Click here to download L2P. Then untar it:

tar xvfz l2p-1.1.1.tgz
cd l2p-1.1.1

you are now in the L2P dir and you will see the file l2p executable. try this:

./l2p -i '$4x^2-7=\cos{2 \pi x}$' -o 'eqn4.png'

If you get nothing wrong, you will see the file eqn4.png in the current directory. Type this to view the image:

eog eqn4.png

If you see a math expression, you did it.
