Hi David, I used:
$sudo cp -R /(path-to-source) /(path-to-target) as I could not workout how you would update it in flatpak with the gnc commands. Then I checked the Alphavantage.pm file with a text editor to verify the (version 1.53) Bruce sent an email recently confiming the file name discrepancy relating to the version number when he released the update this week. So, the command I used is once I extracted the file to the Documents folder: sudo cp -R ~/Documents/Finance-Quote-1.53/lib/Finance /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/98bea86b69a63cc6 ed5a1854344d115a683d6cee7ca56b81e7210f2da2706d88/files/lib/perl5/site_p erl/5.32.0 Once copied go to the Alphavantage.pm file and check the version number. regards, Martin On Sat, 2022-10-01 at 21:29 +0000, David G.
