Download, Drag, and Drop
Download the current release from the download page. Note that GnuCash 3 and later are supported only on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and later; users of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) - 10.8 (Mountain Lion), including those with PowerPC Macs, should be sure to download GnuCash 2.6.21, paying attention to the supported architecture.
Mac Download Folder
Open the disk image and drag GnuCash from there to your applications folder. If you want to retrieve stock prices from the web, double-click on Finance Quote Update. This will run a terminal application, even opening Terminal for you. It's a bit of a pain and requires that you have Xcode installed. We're sorry about that, but we haven't been able to figure out a better way.
Upgrades: Same procedure: Download, drag, and drop. If, and only if you're upgrading from a version before 2.4.0, double click on Upgrade Dirs in the disk-image.
