GnuCash is in the repositories and easy to install. Once installed, if you want to download transactions posted to your bank account, there are a few relatively easy steps to take.
Once you open GnuCash, click on File>New File, or use Ctrl+N to open the New Account Hierarchy Setup window.
It will help you set up a set of GnuCash Accounts for your assets, liabilities and different types of income and expenses you may have.
On this screen, you can choose Cancel or Forward to the next screen, Choose Currency.
The Choose Currency is self-explanatory, as you can choose the currency of your area.
Once you have chosen your currency, you have the option to go Back, Forward or Cancel.
Going Forward takes you to the New Book Options. The Accounts, Budgeting, Business and Counters tabs I believe are more Business orientated. The Budgeting tab is greyed out so there are no options on that tab. So, for my personal finances, I did not choose any of the options and went Forward to the next screen, Choose accounts to create.
As you can see, Common Accounts is selected and the Category Description states that most users will want to use this option. From here, click on Forward to Setup selected accounts.
This is where you set up your accounts. When you click on an account and highlight it, you then double-click on Account Name to specify the name you wish to assign to the account: ie., My Banking Account. With the account highlighted, you can also double-click on the Opening Balance (refer to your latest bank statements for these figures), and you will be able to start with your Opening Balance. If you fail to enter an Opening Balance, or Account Name, you have the option of entering them when you open the the register screen after setting everything up.
Clicking on Forward brings you to the Finish Account Setup screen. Here, once again you can go Back, Apply or Cancel the actions. Clicking on the Apply option brings you to the Save As window.
Here you create a folder for your files and give it your preferred name.
After saving your account, your banking accounts are listed under Assets. At this point, if you do not wish to download your online banking file, you can just use your GnuCash as a regular check register.
Next, you can set up your online banking by clicking on Tools, online banking setup.
Here you will need the following: the bank code of your bank, the user ID that identifies you to your bank, and the Internet address of your bank's online banking server. You must contact your bank for this information. When you have this information click on Forward
Clicking on Forward brings you to the Start AqBanking Initial Assistant.
After clicking on Start AqBanking Wizard, your next screen allows you to Create User and Accounts in order to download banking data for GnuCash.
I will not actually create another bank account as I have everything already set up with my banks.
Once this is finished, go to your personal banking institution, find where you can download your data for your account, and choose Quicken.
After downloading your file, click on File>Import OFX/OFX… and navigate to the downloaded Quicken file.
Highlight the downloaded file and press enter. This will bring up the Generic Import transaction matcher window, which allows you to reconcile your transactions with three options: A = imports transactions you have not entered in your register; U+R allows you to update and reconcile the transaction, and R reconciles the transactions you have entered in your register. Once you have selected your preferences, click OK. You will then be brought back to your account register and see your imported transactions have been updated with a “c”.
I hope this will help with initial setup of your accounts.
