Installing Moneydance in Ubuntu 9.10
I am having trouble installing Moneydance in Ubuntu 9.10. I have Sun Java 6 installed and ready to go. I am downloading Moneydance without Java. I can extract files and run the program. It just doesnt appear to be " Installed" on the computer under the Applications tab. Is there a command line or something else that I may be missing? Thanks.

Hi Brandon
To add a launcher for moneydance to the GNOME menu:
Right click the applications menu and select “Edit Menus”.
The Menu editor will appear.
Select the sub menu you want to put the launcher in by clicking on it on the left hand list e.g. "Office".
Click the "+New Item" button on the right.
Enter "Moneydance" as the name.
For the launch command browse to the location of the Moneydance directory and select the Moneydance start up file.(the default install locations in your home folder) My user name is bhspencer so the launch command in my case is
/home/bhspencer/moneydance/Moneydance
See the attached screen shot
Click OK
Click Close.
That should be it.
Sincerely
Ben Spencer
