I believe --system refers to which installation of the flatpak you want to use and hence 
depends on how you installed the package. And it will only be required if you have both a 
system-wide and a user-only gnucash flatpak installed. Most users will have installed via 
their OS's integrated package manager, which would install the flatpak system-wide.

As for sudo, isn't that required to be able to make changes to permissions for a system 
installed flatpak ?
