[GNC] Finance::Quote v1.53 RC1 Available for Download

[Martin Booth]

Hi David,

I used:

$sudo cp -R /(path-to-source) /(path-to-target) 

as I could not workout how you would update it in flatpak with the gnc
commands.

Then I checked the Alphavantage.pm file with a text editor to verify
the (version 1.53)

Bruce sent an email recently confiming the file name discrepancy
relating to the version number when he released the update this week.

So, the command I used is once I extracted the file to the Documents
folder:

sudo cp -R ~/Documents/Finance-Quote-1.53/lib/Finance
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/98bea86b69a63cc6
ed5a1854344d115a683d6cee7ca56b81e7210f2da2706d88/files/lib/perl5/site_p
erl/5.32.0

Once copied go to the Alphavantage.pm file and check the version
number.

regards,
Martin
