Check out https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Debian especially the bit about
gnucash-docs being optional. The button is always there otherwise you
would have to recompile gnucash to add it. I'm running a Ubuntu 17.10 at
home and I'm pretty sure I had to install the docs as well...
Search for *gnucash* to find the GnuCash packages
- Mark *gnucash-common* for installation
- Mark *gnucash* for installation
- Mark *gnucash-docs* for installation (optional)
