Install GnuCash

I installed GnuCash in Edubuntu, using the instructions in Ubuntu Help (note that I had to enable the universe repository:

How do I install an accounting application (GnuCash)?

1.Make sure the universe repository is enabled. (See How do I add Universe and Multiverse?)
2.Install the gnucash package with Synaptic (See How do I use Synaptic to install packages?)

Gnome Desktop Environment (universe) gnucash

3.Remove some unnecessary directories and files.

sudo rm -fr /usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications/

4.Start a new desktop configuration file in the /usr/share/applications directory.

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/GnuCash.desktop

A blank file called GnuCash.desktop opens in gedit.

5.Add the following lines to the new file.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GnuCash
Comment=GnuCash Personal Finance
Exec=gnucash
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/gnucash/gnucash-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Office;
/>
6.Save the file and close gedit. (See sample/GnuCash.desktop_gnucash for an example.)

7.To open GnuCash, choose Applications → Office → GnuCash.
