I am James Baxter email kangaroo52@yahoo.comas i found this next part and i am not good with Linux and Gnucash.org. I am looking to know how to place that code into this linux or where it is design to go.

I am still getting us to both Linux and Gnucash. also need to know if there is an icon (desk top) item so it will be easly to use. thanksJames baxterkangaro...@yahoo.com On Saturday, August 6, 2022, 12:00:41 PM EDT, gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org <gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org> wrote: Send gnucash-user mailing list submissions to gnucash-user@gnucash.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org You can reach the person managing the list at gnucash-user-ow...@gnucash.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of gnucash-user digest..."

You will need to use a flavor of 22.04 LTS for the following. The documentation for how to build GnuCash is confusing and not all in one place. The following begins with a fresh install of Lubuntu 22.04 LTS. I use Vagrant so that everything is deterministically built once I have finished figuring out the correct set of steps. But, Vagrant is not a requirement; you don't have to use that. The patch used below is the following. Put it in your /tmp directory before starting. https://pastebin.com/qUmxyyLq sudo patch /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp/sources_list.patch sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash mkdir ~/opt wget https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.11/gnucash-4.11.tar.gz mkdir build-gnucash-4.11 tar -zxvf gnucash-4.11.tar.gz cd build-gnucash-4.11/ cmake -DWITH_PYTHON=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt ../gnucash-4.11 make make install I hope this helps.

If so, you could probably write a spreadsheet macro to create a csv, ofx or qif file to import. Alternatively, if you are on Linux, use some scripting language like Perl or awk. If you use Finance::Quote to import market prices, you already have Perl installed.

Getting "organized" text programmatically out of PDF is a giant pain. My current approach is almost completely programmatic. BTW, Raku is the "sister" language of Perl, and it is a "scripting" language. Raku can also use Perl modules so I can use Finance::Quote with it if need be. But, until I can get the bank data working, I won't be needing it.
