I am not aware of a .deb version to install.  It wasn't that hard to go 
through the build page and compile my own.  There were a couple of 
hickups along the way but the folks here were great about helping.

Start with this page and work down section by section: 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux

Be sure to follow the referenced pages to get the build tools and 
dependency list.  I copied them line by line and ran in a terminal 
environment.  I haven't taken the time to build a shell script to load 
them all.

holler on the list if  you run into problems.  I'm using a patched 3.3 
on Ubuntu 18.04.
