Hello, Christine, and welcome to GnuCash! One way to get started is:
1. Read through GnuCash's Tutorial and Concepts Guide <https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=guide>, 2. Download the GnuCash app <https://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml> 3. Install the GnuCash app: do the usual thing on Windows and macOS, and read <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Installation> for Linux or if you encounter problems 4. Run GnuCash, create a simple new account hierarchy and new book, purely for experimentation. Import data. Try things out. Make mistakes. It's only a test book, not your real data. 5. Now start over and make your real account hierarchy and new real book. Start importing data for real. 6. As needed, read the GnuCash Help manual <https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help>. 7. As needed, get help from the community. Send mail to this list, follow suggestions at <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Getting_Help>. 8. Consider how well you understand the fundamentals of double-entry bookkeeping. GnuCash requires you to use double-entry concepts, it does not attempt to hide them from you. If double-entry bookkeeping is new to you, maybe read an introductory accounting textbook. Are those clues helpful? Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt On 2022-06-02 12:13, Christine McSweeney wrote:
