<p>Hi phil66 --</p>
<p>Actually very easy, and you have two alternatives:</p>
<p>1) use the install script. Basically, it appears to place all of the<br>
parts in its proper location. I had not done this in a while, so take a<br>
look at the install sript. It should also install OpenJDK as default.<br>
2) if you down load the deb file, it becomes very complicated to break<br>
it into arch linux install. I initially tried it and never got it to work.</p>
<p>If you got as far as installing and using manjaro, this is pretty nice<br>
way to run Moneydance.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>

Error: There is a problem opening the file /home/ray/Downloads changed and retried<br>

I am not able to make changes that will allow Moneydance to install<br>
I would appreciate any further help</p></div>phil66tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/476715092019-10-08T01:18:30Z2019-10-08T01:18:30ZMoneydance 2017 installation<div><p>I finally got Moneydance_linux_amd64.rpm to install ..I can open accounts,credit cards and import to program<br>

<p>What distro of LINUX (and version) are you using? It sounds like Redhat<br>
but confusing how you would get an "rpm" of Moneydance, since the<br>
download site only has two options for LINUX: "deb" (Ubuntu) and "script"</p>
<p>What desktop are you using since some desktops do not allow desktop<br>
icons unless you <em>really</em> want them.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I have a virtualbox image of manjaro running MD 2019. The only<br>
difference is that I am using KDE desktop rather than GNOME (for a lot<br>
of capabilities reasons!).</p>
<p>The next question is whether you can run MD or are you stuck on the<br>
result of the install (running the program)?</p>
<p>Background. I had a lot of issues installing MD on Manjaro, even to the<br>
point of converting the deb file to work as an ARCH linux install, with<br>
pacman. I finally gave up and downloaded the shell script, which worked<br>
the first time!</p>
<p>Basically, the shell script unpacks the software into a directory of<br>
your own choosing, with a executable file, and, what seems like and<br>
install as a desktop file (icon). I can start MD using the shell script,<br>
but I use something like docker that once running, I add to my bottom<br>
list of commands as an icon. I did not try the install desktop, but that<br>
may be a way for you to go.</p>
<p>I would recommend 2019, if you have the license for it. And have a try<br>
at the install script.</p>
