I’ma new user to Linux Mint 19.2, 4.15.0-55-generic trying to installGnuCash 3.7+ withFinance::Quote (F::Q). Iused Software Manager to install<GnuCash (Flathub)>. [Apparentlythe same as sudoapt install flatpak | flatpak install flathub org.gnucash.GnuCash.] I then ranthe gnc-fq-update command to installedF::Q,i.e.sudo/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/bc52ab30f66dced911792133c3dbd930f3f97394c2d51b3a69345a2204b48eb3/files/bin/gnc-fq-update. Thisprovided:

Date::Manipis up to date (6.78).
Finance::Quoteis up to date (1.49).

gnc-fq-checkcommand provided multiple .pmsources(/usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/Finance/Quote).
gnc-fq-dumpyahoo_json KO and gnc-fq-dump -v alphavantage KO (with ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY identified) returned the proper stockinformation.
Ialso modified‘/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/bc52ab30f66dced911792133c3dbd930f3f97394c2d51b3a69345a2204b48eb3/files/etc/gnucash/environment.local'toinclude
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Unfortunatelythe Menu> Office> GnuCash>Tools> Security Editor> Add> Quote Source Information areais still grayed out.
Menu>Office> GnuCash> Help> About> icondisplays “Finance::Quote:-”.

 
Questions:

-Howdo I get GnuCash 3.7+ to active F::Q? 

-Isthere PATH or environment statement thatI should modify? 

-ShouldI uninstall GnuCash and re-install it in a different manner?




InquisitiveQuestion: 

-Howto launch GnuCash from the gnome Terminal Emulator in a mannersimilar to LibreOffice Calc i.e./usr/local/bin/libreoffice6.3 --calc.



  
Thanksfor the solution(s),

Michael
