[GNC] How to upgrade from GC 3.7 to 3.8?

[David Cousens]

Adrien, Fran,

The windows installer appears remove a previous version during installation
AFAIK from when I upgrade GnuCash on my wife's Windows 10 notebook. 

Linux Mint/Ubuntu/Debian generally install to /usr/local from the
distribution repositories but usually to get the latest version you need to
build from source. You can usually uninstall from the desktop menu Software
Manager  in most cases or use "sudo apt remove gnucash" to uninstall from a
terminal. if you have built GnuCash and retained the source and build
dirctories then "sudo make uninstall " issued from the build directory will
normally remove the current installation. The wiki on Building GnuCash for
Linux has a section on uninstalling. which describes how to manually remove
all directories (sudo/admin privileges required). Usually a good idea to
uninstall before installing a new version to ensure all libraries are
replaced on Linux.
