[GNC] Trustworthy easy way to install gnucash 3.5 on ubuntu?

[Stephen M. Butler]

Nathan,

Others have had success going to my google drive and locating the
download they want.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s-E6t-snmQiEFaT_hlWF2KHWrIB_LV2x

There are two folders.  I think you will want the Trusty-Xenial-Bionic
folder.  The other one is for Disco (Ubuntu 19.04)
Within the Trusty.... folder you will find folders for 3.4 and 3.5. 

Pick the folder you want and download the three files inside that folder
(probably to your Downloads folder).  Be sure they are the only files in
your folder that have gnucash in the name and end with .deb.


Uninstall whatever version of Gnucash you currently have:

sudo apt remove gnucash-common python?-gnucash gnucash

do a cleanup of now unused packages:

sudo apt autoremove

Now cd to your download folder and install those three files in one step as:

sudo apt install ./*gnucash*.deb

Let me know how that works.
