<p>There a quite a number of different ways to install Moneydance
on linux. How you install it depends on which file you
downloaded.</p>
<p>Probably the simplist method is to download from the link called
"Linux installer (x86 processor, includes Java)" this link can be
found on the following page:</p>
<p><a href=
"http://moneydance.com/other">http://moneydance.com/other</a></p>
<p>Once you have downloaded the file you need to make it enable it
to be run. Do this by right clicking on the file, select Properties
from the menu, click on the permissions tab, and check the box that
says "Allow executing file as program" see the first attached
screenshot.</p>
<p>Then you can run the install script by double clicking on it. It
will ask you wat you want to do when you double click on it, click
the "Run" option.</p>
<p>The installer will run. leave all the options at their
defaults.</p>
<p>The installer does not create a desktop shortcut icon
automatically for you in ubuntu. You will have to do this your
self. To do this right click on your desktop and select "Create
Launcher" enter the name for the launcher as "Moneydance 2010"
Click on the Browse button for the command option and browse to the
moneydance folder in your home folder and select the file in that
folder called "moneydance". See the second screenshot.</p></div>Ben Spencertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/7781932009-12-29T15:55:54Z2009-12-29T15:55:54ZInstall on Linux by a linux newbie<div><p>oops I posted before finishing what I was writing.</p>
<p>Here is the second screenshot.</p>
<p>Click the op button on the create launcher window and you will
have an icon on your desktop that you can double click to run
Moneydance.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

in the folder. It looked like a readme file not what I am used
to.</p>
<p>It is up and running and I am trying to learn how to best use
it.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br></p>
