Hello, Edwin:
Welcome to GnuCash, and welcome to the Mac! I have been using GnuCash on
Mac for many years. It works well.
Using GnuCash on Mac has no connection with Linux. The GnuCash project
makes a Mac version of the GnuCash app. That is what you should use.
First, download the right thing. On the front page of the GnuCash
website, <https://www.gnucash.org/>, there is a link, 'Apple macOS ≥
10.13—"High Sierra"'. Click on that link. The browser offers to download
a file named "Gnucash-Intel-5.1-1.dmg" or similar (the details may
differ depending on the current GnuCash version).
Second, know where to find the thing you downloaded. This is a matter of
knowing how your web browser works. I have my web browser set up so that
it always asks me to tell it where to store each file it downloads. I
believe that the default behaviour of most web browsers is to store the
file in a folder named "Downloads" in your home directory. Finder will
get you to your home directory, then to Downloads.
Third, install the app. Double-click on the ".dmg" file. An installer
runs. Follow its instructions.
Fourth, run the app. The installer places the GnuCash app in your
Applications folder. Use Finder to open the Applications folder. Look
for an entry named "GnuCash". Double-click on that app to run it.
Does that answer your question?

Hi all. Newbee here. Both to GnuCash and to Macs! I’ve wanted to try
GnuCash for a long time but never launched Linux. So now I have a MacPro
laptop and have tried (several times) to download GnuCash on it. It seems
to download (it certainly took several minutes to complete it) but now I
cannot find it anywhere in order to install it. This may be more of an
Apple issue than a GnuCash one, but can someone help me please?
Thanks, Edwin
