Bruce,

There’s no Homebrew formula for GnuCash, it’s just a cask around the dmg I build and notarize for distribution. Once the dmg is mounted the user can drag GnuCash.app anywhere they like, though I provide a link to /Applications and a suggestive arrow pointing between the two in the dmg Finder window.

Regards,
John Ralls

Homebrew installs applications under /usr/local or under the user's home directory.
