[GNC] Install Gnucash on Debian

[Mike stagl]

I realized I had installed GnuCash on my Debian system using apt-get and a repository. The latest version for which this works is 2.6.15.

How do I install GnuCash 3.3 or higher on my Debian system? I'm hoping the answer isn't to build my own with cmake... I've never done that before and am a little intimidated by the process and checking dependancies.

Is it possible to download the Ubuntu .deb? Would that work, in theory?

Thanks to all the contributors,

Mike

I am not aware of a .deb version to install.  It wasn't that hard to go
through the build page and compile my own.  There were a couple of
hickups along the way but the folks here were great about helping.

Start with this page and work down section by section:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux

Be sure to follow the referenced pages to get the build tools and
dependency list.  I copied them line by line and ran in a terminal
environment.  I haven't taken the time to build a shell script to load
them all.

holler on the list if  you run into problems.  I'm using a patched 3.3
on Ubuntu 18.04.

I'm pretty sure I installed 3.3 from the unstable Debian repo:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/gnucash

You will need to do some hunting of you wish to just install a single
package from unstable, but it is possible.

Mike,

Steve mentioned he hadn't put the build environment and dependencies into a
script. The attached is a script which I use for setting up the build on
Linux Mint 19 for Gnucash V3.3. My system was a brand new minimal
installation of Linux MInt so it should have captured all the dependencies.
Debian may differ slightly from Linux Mint in the libraries which are
installed with the system and its base load of software. If there are any I
have missed, cmake throws up an error if the libraries or development
headers are not present, usually identifying the package that is missing. If
you have any problems just come back to the forum with any error messages.
It's not particularly sophisticated and you have to enter the password for
sudo initiallyand answer any questions the installation throws up, usually
just a confirmation "y". You have to set execute permission on it i.e.

$chmod +x gnucash-development-depndency-setup.sh

and then execute at the terminal prompt open at a directory containing the
script

$./gnucash-development-depndency-setup.sh

gnucash-development-depndency-setup.sh
<http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/file/t375329/gnucash-development-depndency-setup.sh>

It follows the Building On Linux page build setup and dependency information
