[GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[John Ralls]

The most common place would be to your home directory. It will create a new directory gnucash-3.0, so you'll adjust the tail of the cmake command to ../gnucash-3.0.

I'm working on releasing 3.1 right now so you may want to wait a day and build that release instead.

Regards,
John Ralls
