<title>Installation of <application>GnuCash</application></title>
<para>Install <application>GnuCash</application> by running the following
commands:</para>

--sysconfdir=/etc --disable-guppi \
--disable-error-on-warning &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install &amp;&amp;
chown -R root:root /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/doc/html/html</command></userinput></screen>
<para><emphasis>Note:</emphasis> If you run <command>make check</command>
before installing the package, you may need to do it as the root user so that
the <application>Slib</application> catalog in
<filename class='directory'>/usr/share/guile</filename> can be updated.</para>
<para>If you want to install the Help documentation, and you have
<xref linkend="scrollkeeper"/> installed, unpack the additional tarball,
change into the <application>GnuCash Docs</application> source directory and
issue the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome \

<para><parameter>--prefix=/opt/gnome</parameter>:
<application>GnuCash</application>-&gnucash-version; is a
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4 application.</para>
<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: This installs configuration
files in <filename class='directory'>/etc/gnucash</filename> instead of
<filename class='directory'>/opt/gnome/etc/gnucash</filename>.</para>
<para><option>--disable-guppi</option>: This compiles
<application>GnuCash</application> without support for creating
<acronym>GUI</acronym> graphs and plots. Remove this option if you have
<application>Guppi</application> installed.</para>
<para><option>--disable-error-on-warning</option>: The build will fail if
you used <option>--enable-hbci</option>, as a warning is generated. This
option forces the build to ignore the warning.</para>
<para><option>--enable-ofx</option>: This parameter is required if you want
to build in on-line banking support using
<application>LibOFX</application>.</para>
<para><option>--enable-hbci</option>: This parameter is required if you want
to build in on-line banking support using
<application>AqBanking</application>/<application>AqHBCI</application>. See
<filename>doc/README.HBCI</filename> in the
<application>GnuCash</application> source tree for complete information.</para>
<para><command>chown -R root:root /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/doc/html/html</command>:
If the package is built by any user other than root, the ownership of the
installed documentation files are set incorrectly. This command changes the
ownership to root:root.</para>

<note><para><application>GnuCash</application> must be run as root once before
use. Simply executing <command>gnucash</command> from an
<application>X</application> terminal and clicking on the cancel button is
sufficient. This must be done prior to setting up accounts as an unprivileged
user, due to the fact that <application>GnuCash</application> must update
scheme catalogs before it is used.</para></note>
