Retrieving online quotes

[D]

Peter,

It isn't entirely clear what you have done thus far to install Finance::Quote, which is what Gnucash uses to retrieve quotes. Unfortunately, the help document doesn't actually provide step by step instructions on installation (an oversight, to be sure). However, the wiki has pretty detailed instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_install_Finance::Quote_on_a_Mac.3F 

Take a look at that page and see if it helps you, and let us know where in that process you get hung up.

Hi there,

I’ve installed GNUCash 2.6.17 and wish to retrieve online stock quotes on a mac.

I’ve followed 5.4.1.1. Steps to enable On-line price updating

When I type “perldoc Finance::Quote into the terminal window it returns 
	No documentation found for "Finance::Quote”

According to the docs this means that it is not installed, however it later says that if you have installed from the installer then Finance::Quote is already installed.

Typing gnc-fq-dump returns command not found.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Peter
