Unfortunately the Update Finance Quote script works in a way that violates
security in MacOS 10.15 and I had to remove it in order to for Apple to
notarize the dmg.
You can do what it did pretty easily, though. Open
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt type
sudo cpan -i Finance::Quote
it will ask for your password, type that in. It may put up a dialog box asking
if you want to install command line tools; tell it that you do. After that it
will print a lot of stuff to the terminal window that you can ignore.
Once it finishes you need to run another command,
sudo cpan -i Date::Manip
When that finishes, test that it works by running
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json AAPL
You should get output something like
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: AAPL <=== required
date: 12/31/2019 <=== recommended
currency: USD <=== required
last: 293.65 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
