[GNC] not been able to launch Gnu Cash 3.4

[John Ralls]

Vinod,

We depend on volunteers who are familiar with accounting in particular countries to build the templates and so far only the one template has been contributed for India.

The templates you're presented with in the new accounts dialog are determined by the locale, so to see a different one change the locale (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings). en_GB is probably the best choice. Remember to set INR as the book currency. Once you've saved the new book you can quit GnuCash and restart it in your regular locale.

Regards,
John Ralls

I want to choose the Common Accounts which should be checked by default. This option is for users who want to set up personal accounts. But I only get one Business account which shows INR GST. It does not show anything else. I tried to change it in Options but there is nothing in it. How can I get Common Accounts?

To install just open the disk image and drag GnuCash.app (the .app part might not display depending on your Finder view preferences) to a regular folder. Most users put it in Applications. Once that's done, double click it. GateKeeper will put up a dialog about apps downloaded from the internet, tell it to open the app. GateKeeper will check the signature and should open GnuCash, though for some users it doesn't. If that happens just double-click GnuCash's Finder entry again and it should open.
