[GNC] Installation on a Mac

[Jules Levinson]

Friends,

I am pleased to report that, acting upon the suggestions, instructions, and
advice that many of you offered in response to the note I sent to the list
yesterday (Sunday, 2 December 2018), my wife has successfully installed
GnuCash on her Mac. To her it seemed that she had done all of these things
previously, to no avail, but the encouragement and experience of others led
her to stop regarding her own problems as an anomaly, and she mentioned
something about having had to drag & drop the *.dmg file from a folder
other than the one to which it downloaded by default to some other folder
from which she then dropped it into the folder for applications (do I have
that right? I know Windows and Linux reasonably well, but I am utterly
unfamiliar with the MacOS). I don't know the particulars, and neither of us
understand why this proved true, but in the end she was able to install the
program. As many of you have reported, once installed, the first attempt to
start the program went nowhere, and then with the second attempt the
program fired up happily. That's where things stand on Monday morning.
Pretty good. Many thanks to all who helped us get to this point.

Best wishes,

Jules
