Edwin, for whatever reason, the First Run Wizard apparently didn't run.
I understand the end result of having an unsaved empty file is thus
confusing.
A simple solution is to choose File > New, name your new book, and the
Wizard *should* run to guide you through selecting accounts to add,
import existing data from another app, etc.
If the Wizard does not run, and you'd like to use it, then report back
here and we can assist further, otherwise, you can just start adding
accounts individually as you think you need them.
Be sure to keep a copy of the Help Manual and the Tutorial & Concepts
Guides open when first working with GnuCash. Both should provide plenty
of assistance getting you started.
As for the 'unsaved' book, it should go away, but if not, simply close
it and don't save any changes so you don't have an empty file laying around.
Regards,
Adrien

Okay. I figured how to drag it to the Applications folder. Now it appears
on the screen at the bottom right. I click on it and after the icon
“bounces” once it goes to the opening page in the middle of the screen and
then, immediately, back to that Unsaved Book - GnuCash. I guess now I just
have to enter data. But I’d like to have a tutorial to figure out what to
do.
