Hi,

I can´t install the "Finance::Quote" as described.
How do I open this root shell?

Thanks

  Installing Finance::Quote

To install Finance::Quote begin by first closing any GnuCash applications
you have running. Second, locate the folder where GnuCash is installed by
searching for "gnc-fq-update" (without the quotes). Change to that
directory, open a root shell and run the command "gnc-fq-update" (without
the quotation marks). This will launch a Perl CPAN update session that will
go out onto the Internet and install the Finance::Quote module on your
system. The gnc-fq-update program is interactive, however, with most systems
you should be able to answer "no" to the first question: "Are you ready for
manual configuration? [yes]" and the update will continue automatically from
that point.

After installation is complete, you should run the "gnc-fq-dump" test
program, in the same directory, distributed with GnuCash to test if
Finance::Quote is installed and working properly.
 Note

If you feel uncomfortable about performing any of these steps, please either
email the GnuCash-user mailing list (<gnucash-user at gnucash.org>) for help or
come to the GnuCash IRC channel on irc.gnome.org. You can also leave out
this step and manually update your stock prices.
