Re: [GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.6 Released
Upgrading is usually pretty straightforward, but it differs depending on your OS and platform. For example, on Windows, the new version uninstalls the earlier version, regardless. On Mac, you drag the new version into Applications (but you can keep earlier versions with simple renaming). On Linux, you might have a flatpack installation, or you may have installed from a package manager, or even compiled it yourself from sources (although if you'd done this, you'd probably be savvy enough not to need our help...). Each has its own upgrade path. David T. On Apr 2, 2024, 1:11 PM, at 1:11 PM, Dave parker via gnucash-user wrote: >I am pretty new to Gnucash. Do I need to uninstall and install the >newer version?
