Primary Instructional Documents
GnuCash offers two primary instructional documents:
- [[[:Template:WebURL]]/viewdoc.phtml?rev=5&doc=help Manual] - the reference for details of operating specific GnuCash menus, dialogs, and windows
- [[[:Template:WebURL]]/viewdoc.phtml?rev=5&doc=guide Guide] - a concise introduction to double-entry accounting and tutorials on using GnuCash to perform a variety of accounting tasks. It is highly recommended that new users read at least the Getting Started section of the Guide.
These documents are accessible via the Help menu in the program, probably requiring Linux users to install an additional package called something like gnucash-docs
using their package manager, or from the [[[:Template:WebURL]]/docs.phtml Documentation page on the gnucash.org website] which also links the following versions:
- Translations are available in German, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese, and the Guide is also available in simplified Chinese. The translations are not always recent and sometimes incomplete, but easier to understand from non-English users.
- Other Formats consist of PDF, ePub, and mobi, or read html documents online
- Nightly Builds contain the work in progress from the git repository for the stable branch
