[GNC] Installing or updating Finance::Quote

[aeg]

 Hi Geoff,
Thank you for your input.Following advice from Murugan, I created a Finance folder at the correct location and put a copy of the latest version of quote.pm into it.
When I now run perl "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update", this is what I see in cmd:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>perl "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update"Database was generated on Sat, 10 Dec 2022 08:13:54 GMTTest2 is up to date (1.302191).Date::Manip is up to date (6.90).Finance::Quote is up to date (1.5301).
C:\WINDOWS\system32>


This looked promising, so I then ran "Install Online Price Retrieval for Gnucash" from the Start menu again, and this was the result:
* Check Perl* Check Perl version* Install required perl modulesDatabase was generated on Sat, 10 Dec 2022 08:13:54 GMTTest2 is up to date (1.302191).Date::Manip is up to date (6.90).Finance::Quote is up to date (1.5301).
* 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
You need to install the following Perl modules:  Finance::Quote
Use your system's package manager to install them,or run 'gnc-fq-update' as root.missing-lib
An error occurred, see above.



It appears that these two are returning conflicting reports, so I'm now wondering whether I should uninstall Strawberry perl again and reinstall it, but I'm also wondering why it didn't fully install in the first place.
Regards,Alan

 Hi Alan

It looks like the install has failed for some reason as the modules 
should be under: C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\

The entries under "perl\vendor" are not related to Finance::Quote and 
are irrelevant.

I suggest that you try to install it again.  The installation can be a 
bit fiddly as there are a number of dependencies, and some modules take 
a while.

You can do this with the GnuCash installer.  Open a command prompt as 
administrator and type:-
perl C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update

Or directly by downloading from here:-
https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote


Good luck!

Regards

Geoff

> Subject: [GNC] Installing or updating Finance::Quote I've started this thread separately from "[GNC] getting price quotes" (from which I gained helpful advice last week), as it's a more specific problem I now face.
> Following the advice from David H and others last week, I eventually decided to upgrade from GC version 3.5 to 4.12, in the hope that it would automatically install the latest version of Finance::Quote and enable me to resume downloading stock prices again. I'm using Windows 10 and the previously installed version of F::Q was 1.47, which had worked without problems until the first week of November.
> The upgrade to GC v4.12 turned out to be more straightforward than I'd previously feared, but I then found that F::Q was still on 1.47, and attempts to update or run "Install OnlinePrice Retrieval for Gnucash" from the Start menu have been unsuccessful, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a solution.
> I should add that, prior to the GC update, I installed the latest version of Strawberry Perl (v5.32.1), after first removing the previous version (v5.18.2).
