[GNC] How to upgrade to 5.1 in Ubuntu

[Carsten Hütter]

Hello Roland!

To being able to keep GnuCash up to date, you should install a flatpak
version. The wiki tells you how to do that.
GnuCash wiki flatpak German:

     https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/De/Flatpak

My preferred way is to download the flatpak package from the GnuCash
build-server.
GnuCash build-server GnuCash 5.1 (release) flatpak:

https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/gnucash-stable-C5.1-D5.1.flatpakref

To quickly get bug corrected nightly flatpaks, you can choose one of the
other ones in:

     https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/

E. g. the lastest nightly build GnuCash 5.1-14:

https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/gnucash-stable-C5.1-14-g73337cff5a-D5.1.flatpakref

The tarball only holds the source code, so you have to compile it by
yourself on your system. Can be done, but is a lot more cumbersome. BTDT...

HTH! Regards

Carsten
