No, you do not do it from the command prompt. You run it from the Start 
menu.

Re: [GNC] Online price retrieval

[Kalpesh Patel]

In the search box (the icon that looks like magnifying glass in the task
bar) just type in "Install Online Price Retrieval for GnuCash" and press the
"Enter" key to kick off the installation routine. You can follow the same
process to upgrade now and then as well. If all goes well, you should get a
message to the effect "* Installation succeeded" followed by "Press any key
to continue . . ." message. Here is the final screen output that I see:

 

 

 

Finance::Quote is up to date (1.51).

 

* Check environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY

 

  ***

  *** You need an API key (from https://www.alphavantage.co)

  ***   to run the Perl module Finance::Quote.

  ***

  *** Make it available to GnuCash by

  ***- setting the environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY or

  ***- starting GnuCash and adding the Alpha Vantage api key in

  ***Edit->Preferences->Online Quotes

  ***

 

* Run gnc-fq-check

Gentlemen/Ladies,

I want to install Finance::Quote on Windows10

Could you please give me a bit more detailed explanation on how to do this >>>  
Run Start → GnuCash → Install Online Price Retrieval.

Re: [GNC] Online price retrieval

[Fross, Michael]

Did you confirm that the following are in your path?  I had a few issues
until both were there.  perl/bin is probably added during installation, but
the c\bin entry was not for me.

C:\Strawberry\c\bin
C:\Strawberry\perl\bin

If you are not certain what that means, go to Control Panel, System,
Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables.

Make sure the two preceding directories are part of the PATH variable which
is a semi-colon delimited list of directories that are searched if you are
running an executable file that is not in your current directory.

If they are not there you can append the missing ones to the existing path
variable.  It doesn't really matter which as they are concatenated during
the actual search.

Hope this helps.

Michael

That looks like a problem with Strawberry Perl. There's a support link on their

Re: [GNC] Online price retrieval

[Fross, Michael]

Hello. I just had to reinstall strawberry Perl on windows 10. I just
downloaded the 64 bit version and installed it.  Then make sure both it’s
perl/bin and the c/bin directories are in your path. I had to add the c/bin
manually. Without it cpan was unable to build correctly.

After I installed Date::Manip and Finance::Quote GC was able to down my
quotes per usual. I use yahoo-Json as my quote source.

Sounds like Strawberry Perl didn't get installed all the way. There should be a 
download in your downloads directory, but if there isn't you can download the 
latest version from http://strawberryperl.com/. Try installing it by hand. If 
it doesn't work there's a support link in the upper right corner of that page.

Yes, it should work on Win7.

Look in the Start Menu for a folder named Strawberry Perl. If it's there then 
open it and pick "CPAN Client". You'll get a terminal window with a 
cpan>prompt. Tell it:

  install Date::Manip

and if that completes without errors

  install Finance::Quote

If they both complete successfully online quotes should work inside of GnuCash. 
If either fails or if the Strawberry folder is missing come back with details.

The instruction to try the command 'i Date::Manip' assumes that you're running 
cpan as an interactive shell. The easiest way to do that is to open Strawberry 
Perl>CPAN Client from the Start menu.

It seems that something has gotten borked with Strawberry's index. Try 
installing Date::Manip::Date instead:
  cpan -i Date::Manip::Date

That actually installs all of Date::Manip. We can only hope that Strawberry 
gets its index fixed on the next build.

Run the Online Price Retrieval Setup program. Date::Manip is a 
required perl module.

That's what did not work.  Downloaded v2.6.21; went GnuCash menu and 
selected "Install Online Price Retrieval for GnuCash."  This action 
resulted in the message above at the end of the process. Observing 
the process running on the terminal showed a message similar to 
"could not find DateManip" part way through.


I apologize for not being clear in the initial report.


Hmm. Date::Manip is in the CPAN repository, 
https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SB/SBECK/Date-Manip-6.73.tar.gz. 
The URL has changed, though, from cpan.org  to 
metacpan.org . That’s just the last couple of 
months, I think.


Try opening a Strawberry Perl window from the Start menu and run the 
command

  cpan -i Date::Manip

There are likely multiple error messages and having the output in a 
window that doesn’t disappear at the end will help you see them all.
