Hi!  I'm looking for a program that will help me chart my net worth and
other such things such as expenses.

The few programs I have found have deplorable installation instructions
("run this program, it will download some mystery meat from the
Internets, then put some files here, then create a configuration file")
and have questionable security practices ("then run this other program,
which starts an HTTP server on your local machine").

Nothing of the sort is necessary if a good desktop application is
written using libraries that are readily available in most Linux
distributions.  To wit, my ledgerhelpers helpers are desktop apps, they
require no configuration at all, and they work with your existing setup
(modulo a few format limitations).

Why isn't there anything like that?  How hard can it be to load data
from ledger using its Python bindings, then plot it using something like
pygtkchart or kqtquickcharts?

Anyway, just my thoughts.
