[GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[Geert Janssens]

If you followed the instructions from the beginning of that page you can run 
the cmake command literally as it's written down

It tells cmake to prepare a gnucash build based on the sources found in the 
parent directory (the .. in the command) and to be installed in the .local 
subdirectory of your user's homedirectory (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPEFIX=
$HOME/.local). You can choose another final installation destination, but it's 
recommended you don't use /usr or /usr/local. The first is reserved for 
packages installed via your package manager, the latter tends to suffer from 
interference by packages installed in /usr. Anywhere under your home directory 
is fine and as of 3.1 you could also install under /opt (but in that case the 
make install step should be run via sudo).

Regards,

Geert
