I have had GC installed on my Mac for a very long time, and until Yahoo pulled the plug everything worked great!  So, I would have to believe that Perl is already in the path.  The only changes I have made were to add the Alphavantage key to the end of the environment file and updating GC to 2.6.18 after upgrading MacOS to 10.13.

But I will check since I don't recall ever running F:Q in the terminal before. How would I check the path?

Thanks,

One thing to check is that perl is in the path so GNC can find the executable.

    Hi Les,

    Have you tried running it with the -v (verbose) option to get a
    bit more
    information back ?

    Running F:Q directly in Terminal works OK on MacOS 10.13 here but only
    after I first issue a "export ALPHAVANTAGE_AKI_KEY=################"
    command so you might find that's what is needed when running it
    directly.
    Remember the environment file you added the key to is used by
    GnuCash and
    presumably passes the api key into F::Q so if you run F:Q directly
    you have
    to let it know what your api key is ?

    Cheers Dave H.
