            Bug ID: 412384
           Summary: insufficient installation documentation
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: documentation
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
no information is provided to find A) a compiled version of kMyMoney for the
Mac; or B) simple complete instructions on how to compile your software for a
non-Unix programmer.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. goto kmymoney.org.  On the right click DOWNLOAD, find pc versions.  Wonder
WTF.
2. hit back arrow.  select MACOS under preview versions.  Wonder WTF?
3. ht back arrow.  click on 4.7.2 for your Mac under macport.  Download
macports.  Find no documentation on what it is or how to use it: all
documentation assumes you already know.
4. find another site that has a tar file to download (sourceforge).  Download
and decompress files.  Wonder why you have to do all this work, when the pc
version downloads and runs, just like a normal program, not a f...g project.
5. read the README files.  discover they too are written for unix programmers. 
open Terminal.  type in a few of the commands. get "program not found".  Quit
in frustration.

OBSERVED RESULT
find a sludge of files, none of which run as kMyMoney.

EXPECTED RESULT
Find a usable alternative to Quicken.
