[GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[John Ralls]

There are some non-Windows issues too, so it's worth waiting.

Most people have their browsers set up to download to $HOME/Downloads, but wherever your browser sends the tarball is fine as long as you can find it.
Once it's downloaded just say
  tar -xf /path/to/gnucash-3.1.tar.bz2
from your home directory. Tar will create the gnucash-3.1 directory for you.

Regards,
John Ralls
