Re: API Key

[David T. via gnucash-user]

Les, Dave,

Thanks for airing this out a little more. 

I had not succeeded in getting this to work, mostly because I didn’t understand 
the FAQ, which tells us to add the environment key to 
"/etc/gnucash/environment where prefix is:” in one spot, and then says 
"/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources on MacOS."

Apparently my memory has become so abbreviated that by the time I got to the 
second part, I had forgotten about the first part, and added the variable to a 
new environment file in “/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources”, rather 
than adding the value to the functional (and already existing) environment file 
in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment.

I have modified the FAQ so that this ambiguity is removed. You might call it 
idiot-proofing. I’ll own that.

David

Just right click on the environment file name in finder and choose "Open

Re: API Key

[Les]

I successfully added the API to Linux MInt 18.2. (I used sudo xed to add 
the key. After, I used Security Editor to change my stocks to 
Alphavantage.) Thanks for the pointers.


How do I make the entry on MacOS 10.13?  I am rather new to Mac so I 
don't know how to do edits.  I know what and where I need to make the 
entry.


Thanks,

As is on most cases where the gnucash package was installed via the linux  
system's own package manager.

I have corrected the faq.

Thanks for pointing this out.

On linuxmint 18.2 (likely most linux distributions) the prefix /usr listed
in wiki is not correct. It should be empty, i.e., /etc/gnucash/environment
is the file.
