When trying to edit a security, in the 'Edit Security' window, under 'Quote Source Information', everything is grayed out and there is a warning: '> Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly. <.


GnuCash Help|About
Version: 3.2
Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24)
Finance::Quote: -


  *   I am running linux mint 19 cinnamon

  *   I have set ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=*############## in /etc/gnucash/environment. Where ### is my actual key number.*

  *   I have the same key number entered in the preferences tab of gnucash.
  *   I can run (in terminal window) (i exported the ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY in the .bashrc file)

gnc-fq-dump alphavantage msft

Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:

symbol: msft <=== required

date: 11/01/2018 <=== recommended

currency: USD <=== required

last: 106.3700 <=\

nav: <=== one of these

price: <=/

timezone: <=== optional


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have run out of ideas to solve this problem.


Thanks,

Joe
