Can’t export Hebrew LYX file to PDF

culmushebrewlyx

I installed LYX by the official instructions. When I view[ctrl+R] a document which includes only English text – a new PDF file open properly, but if the document includes Hebrew letters I get an error (attached as picture).
I had tried to download 'culmus.sty' file and copy to some directories, but it didn't help.
~ The files directories which were mentioned:

AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex\latex\culmus
AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex\latex\tools
AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\latex\culmus
C:\Users~myUserName~\culmus\tex\latex\culmus

You can get support for compiling with pdfTeX and IvriTeX Hebrew fonts by using install-tl-ubuntu. Just run the following command:

sudo ./install-tl-ubuntu --hebrew

Before you do that, you should remove whichever LaTeX installation you currently have (by default it installs a full TeX Live 2013 distribution). See ./install-tl-ubuntu --help for more information.

If you would like to compile with XeTeX, there is no need for any of this. Just to test that it works (the choice of fonts is not correct and probably ugly for Hebrew but you can use any fonts):

In Document > Settings > Fonts, check the box "Use non-TeX fonts" and change the three fonts to FreeSans (or any other font that supports Hebrew).
Click OK.
Try to export with XeTeX.

Better Hebrew fonts can be found in the ubuntu packages culmus and culmus-fancy.
