Installing Finance::Quote

[Derek Atkins]

Open up gnome-terminal or xterm, su root, and run the program.
How did you install gnucash if you didn't get into a root shell?

> 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.

> 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.
