[GNC] Online price retrieval

[Kalpesh Patel]

In the search box (the icon that looks like magnifying glass in the task
bar) just type in "Install Online Price Retrieval for GnuCash" and press the
"Enter" key to kick off the installation routine. You can follow the same
process to upgrade now and then as well. If all goes well, you should get a
message to the effect "* Installation succeeded" followed by "Press any key
to continue . . ." message. Here is the final screen output that I see:

 

 

 

Finance::Quote is up to date (1.51).

 

* Check environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY

 

  ***

  *** You need an API key (from https://www.alphavantage.co)

  ***   to run the Perl module Finance::Quote.

  ***

  *** Make it available to GnuCash by

  ***    - setting the environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY or

  ***    - starting GnuCash and adding the Alpha Vantage api key in

  ***        Edit->Preferences->Online Quotes

  ***

 

* Run gnc-fq-check

Lots of info at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes if you want to
read up on it.

 

There's a menu item for it - left click on the start menu windows logo, left
click on "A" in the list of installed programs, then left click "G"

for Gnucash and then open the Gnucash folder and click on the "Install
Online Price Retrieval for GnuCash" shortcut in the folder and let it do
it's thing.  This will also install Strawberry Perl for you as it needs that
to run - can take 5 - 10 minutes so wait until it finishes.

 

Cheers David H.
