1. Download and open the Gnucash dmg. The current releases are always linked in the upper right-hand corner of http://www.gnucash.org.
2. Drag the Gnucash.app icon from the dmg to wherever you want to keep it; most Mac users prefer the Applications folder.
3. Eject the dmg. (control-tap or two-finger tap to bring up the context menu, select “Eject Gnucash-Intel-4.0.4-1.dmg”)

GnuCash can be started by double clicking the icon wherever you put it. Note that while GnuCash will start when you double-click a gnucash file in Finder, including on the desktop, it won’t actually open that file. It always opens the last one it was using.
