Re: [GNC] computer with Linux
Indeed, I see that now. I had simply use `apt show gnucash` (similar to `apt-cache policy gnucash`) I just sent a message to the upstream maintainer requesting that be cropped out to avoid confusion. Though I'm not sure how that gets propagated. Most likely, it won't be updated until the next release per-distro. `gnucash` is in upstream Debian repositories, so most likely it won't appear until Unstable becomes Testing, or Testing becomes Stable and the particular distro in question (in this case, Mint via Ubuntu, which is based on Testing) rebases their repos.

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux
Thanks Adrien, The Software Manager has an image which had 2.2.9 on it. I didn't scroll down to the details, just assumed the image was of the installed version - my bad. apt-cache policy gnucash also lists it as 3.8 the same package as the Ubuntu archive. I hadn't realized LM 21 was out. I only checked a couple of weeks ago.

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux
David, I just checked a VM of Mint 20.3 I have and the GnuCash version is 3.8, not 2.2.9. Mint 20.x appears to be based on Ubuntu Focal. (20.04) Still, yes, 3.8 is quite aged, but not as ancient as 2.2.9. Mint 21 Vanessa was released and I see it has 4.8 in its repo. (based on upstream Ubuntu 22.04, so presumably that's what Ubuntu Jammy users get too, though I haven't checked) That's much more reasonably 'recent' if someone doesn't want to tread the Flatpak waters.

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux
James, I presume you downloaded Linux Mint 20.3. Did you choose the Cinnamon desktop or one of the pther options? There are several options on Linux Mint to get GnuCash installed. The version supplied by the Software Manager is 2.2.9 which is well out of date with the current version 4.11. If you haven't found it yet, the Software Manager is started from the Menu icon in the lower LH corner of the desktop. It has an icon which is a lime green circle filed with an array of dots in a rounded square icon. Typing GnuCash in the Search bar will bring up the instalation for both the version in the repository and the Flathub version. This is also the version of GNuCash installed when you use the "sudo apt install gnucash" terminal command. If you do use the terminal command it is usualy a good idea to run "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" as a matter of course. This will ensure the apt cache is up to date on your computer before you do the install. There is also an option to install a Flathub version of GNuCash in the software manager and that will install the current version 4.11. Flathub is a sandbox system which sometimes requires appropriate permissions to access the system resource but should run without any problem. If you do have problems come back to the mailing list.

Re: [GNC] computer with Linux
James, GnuCash doesn't provide 'downloads' for Linux. (that is, ready to install and run.) GnuCash instead provides the source code for download to 'build' GnuCash. This is probably *not* what you want. (for advanced users and developers) You install it from *within* Linux (not downloading from a website) using various means: 1. Use the Mint Software Manager. 2. Use an alternative 'graphical pacakage manager' such as Synaptic. 3. Use a 'command-line package manager' such as apt, apt-get, or synaptic (also has a command-line interface) If you need, or want, the latest GnuCash version and it is not available by one of the above means, look into installing Flatpak support, and then installing the Flatpack version of GnuCash. (if you are a Linux beginner, this is a slightly more advanced method, and I'd stick with option #1 above until you are more familiar with Linux.)
