Rhonda, The .bz2 file is the compressed source code file for those intending to compile Gnucash locally. What OS are you using? If macOS you need the .dmg file and for Windows the .exe file
You can either go to the Gnucash web site at https://gnucash.org/download.phtml and download the correct file or download using the following links from John Ralls original release email : Microsoft Windows: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/5.0/gnucash-5.0.setup.exe https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnucash/gnucash%20%28unstable%29/5.0/gnucash-5.0.setup.exe Apple macOS: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/5.0/Gnucash-Intel-5.0-1.dmg https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnucash/gnucash%20%28unstable%29/5.0/Gnucash-Intel-5.0-1.dmg Cheers David H.
