Fred – there are two part to this – stand alone each -- and they combined can 
together work as one, or as two separate things on their own on any system if 
you are NOT using flat pak version of GNUCash. It looks like you may be 
confusing things here because of that.

 

There is Perl based Finance::Quote (F::Q for short) libraries – which is 
responsible for retrieving quotes from various sources -- and there is GNUCash 
-- which is for bookkeeping. However, GNUCash can call Finance::Quote to 
retrieve pricing for its needs. The upgrade happens when you update each 
components and what is packaged with each. gnc-fq-update is part of GNUCash; 
and NOT part of F::Q. You have to update GNUCash to get updated gnc-fq-update. 
Updating F::Q – which now stands at 1.65 -- simply updates Perl libraries which 
may introduce additional sources for Quotes, fixing bugs, etc., but it does not 
trample on any of the GNUCash packaged components, and vice a versa for F::Q 
components when upgrading GNUCash. 

 

Hope this helps.

That command did update Finance-Quote

but it did not install gnc-fq-update

So, it appears that there are two ways to do the update.

Sorry, the command in shell is actually just (no "install" in the middle as it 
will try to install a module named install which not needed):

cpanm Finance::Quote

Following command should do on Windows or Linux distro's:

cpanm install Finance::Quote

I want to update Fiance-Quote, but
gnc-fq-update is missing in Fedora Linux 41.

I looked 11.2. Installing Finance::Quote in 
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-manual/fq-install.html

but did not see instructions on how to get gnc-fq-update.

I am running GnuCash 5.11
