If you install from flatpak you will get the current version. However
note that there is currently a bug with 4.7 that prevents it from
opening, so you may want to wait on that.
sudo apt install flatpak
sudo flatpak install org.gnucash.GnuCash
flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash

Short of building from source, is there a link anywhere for upgrading
from 4.2 to the next compatible stable version on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS? The
Debian list is too far behind since I run multiple O.S.'s. I tried the
suggested PPA, I think it was sicklylife something or other for 4.3.
Totally screwed up a test set of books that I use just to test new
versions before I turn it loose on my multiple sets of books for
family. It would be nice to run the same working versions on my Ubuntu
Server (Micro$soft bricked my main server and had to replace it, so I am
migrating everything I can to Ubuntu) and my dual boot laptop.
I have tried several times to build from source but; I am too old school
on my programming language list (i.e. Cobol, Pascal, forth) to get a
build to work. Every time I have tried it spits out in a foreign
language some error list and fails to build. My bad.
You would think that someone who wrote over 100,000 lines of C++ code to
handle up to 2 billion inventory items for a POS and parts ordering
system at best cost could easily handle this, but the languages you use
are all too new to me.
I would settle for a copy of "Building the Newest Version of GNC for
Dummies Course" book.
.
So how do I get this to launch from a desktop icon like I had 4.2
doing? On Ubuntu. The desktop link still does 4.2 but the command line
you listed does 4.8.
