You're probably not going to like this: The secret is to get a Mac. That's
because on Macs most applications are self-contained bundles containing all of
their non-system dependencies and there's no os-maintained list keeping track
of them.
To have multiple installs on Windows or Linux one must bypass the
application/package management system by building and installing GnuCash
oneself, a task that's beyond the skills of most users.
