Not a question, just my notes on how I got Finance::Quote to work on a
new Mac Mini M1.
Operating system is OS X 11.6 (Big Sur)
GnuCash Version is 4.8 (from the -2.dmg)
My initial install left me unable to download quotes (via
Finance::Quote). Research online eventually led to a Reddit discussion
about similar problems. Apparently the root cause of the trouble was
that module Mozilla::CA provides certificates for inquiries, but was not
installed with the default Perl. Sequence of installs necessary for
success was:
sudo cpan -i B::Keywords
sudo cpan -i Test2
sudo cpan -i DateTime
sudo cpan -i DateTime::Locale
sudo cpan -i DateTime::Format::Strptime
sudo cpan -i Mozilla::CA
Once those are all done then go to:
/Applications/Gnucash/Contents/Resources/bin
and run the Finance::Quote fixing script:
sudo ./gnc-fq-update
After all the above, all the wonderful quotes were downloaded
beautifully. Now, if I could only get the courage to "upgrade" to
Monterey...
