Copy the file from the installed directory (/usr/share/<mumble>) to
someplace under your home directory.  That is make a folder under your
home directory, call it something like "My Custom Gnucash report code".
Change the name of the file to something else, say
"retainer-invoice.scm".  Then add to (or create)
~/.gnucash/config.user the line:

(load-from-path "/path/to/home/My Custom Gnucash report code/retainer-invoice.scm")

(replace '/path/to/home' with the path of your home directory, typically
this will be /home/username, where username is your login username).
