Re: Retrieving online quotes

[Peter Ling]

Hi David,

So the problem was step 2.  As you can see from the screen grab below, after 
opening preferences I had to select Locations, then select Xcode 8.3.3 under 
the Command Line Tools drop-down.  Not so difficult but it did throw me.

Install Xcode.app, a free download from the App Store or, on pre-10.7 versions 
of OSX, included with your distribution DVD.
(App Store downloads only) Run Xcode, open preferences, select 
downloads/components, and install command line tools.
Drag Update Finance Quote.app to the same folder that you put Gnucash.app, then 
double-click it to open. It will open a Terminal window, request your password 
for root access, and run cpan to install Finance::Quote from the perl software 
site CPAN. It will ask for confirmation many times; accept the default every 
time.
