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 The version supplied by the Software Manager is 2.2.9 which is well out of date with the current version 4.11.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. AFAIK the Flathub version is the same as the download of the Flathub version from the GnuCashsite. The final option is to build GnuCash from the source code if you are familiar with building software on computers and like to stay up with the latest version at all times. There are instructions on the Gnucash wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux Davis Cousens On Sun, 2022-07-31 at 18:27 +0000, James Baxter via gnucash-user wrote: > I have a 15 year old laptop computer. it has Linux Mint. i just down load it > about 3 weeks ago.I am looking to down load Gnucash, as i am not able to.
