bean-identify, bean-extract, bean-file

[Jason Crews (the1gofer)]

I'm trying to figure out how to use the parsers with bean count, and I can't seem to get any of these to work. 

If I have to make a guess, it's probably because they have been depreciated, but I'm not sure. 

once I have a parser, how do I run it in Beanocunt?

[Jason Crews (the1gofer)]

I actually just found beangulp, I'll be danged if i can figure out how to install and use it though.  

I tried pipx beangulp and pixbeangulp --isntall-deps
I tired pipx install git+https://github.com/beancount/beangulp.git --include-deps

neither of which seem to work.

Hi Jason,

I'm not very familiar with pipx, but on my setup, I simply used
`pip install .` from the root directory, which worked fine. However, the
installation method may vary depending on your distribution.
(E.g., on Arch I need `--break-system-packages`).

There are some example files in beangulp/examples.
I found that starting with the utrade example is the simplest way
to get familiar with the tool.

Hi Jason,

I haven't used `pipx` much, but for my setup, running `pip install .`
from the root directory worked without issues. I also tried `pipx
install .`, and that worked fine as well.

The installation process might vary depending on your distro, as Python
environments can be a bit tricky sometimes.

I'm currently learning Beancount too. For `beangulp`, I recommend
checking out the `utrade` example in the examples folder; it’s been
quite helpful.

Best,

Xiaowen

I'm not sure what you mean by a "parser" but when you install Beancount using pip it should install a `bean-check` tool which you can use to validate your input file. You can then use beanquery and/or Fava to get reports out of it.

Well I was instructed to use pipx for bean count and fava so I assumed.

Oh I see you mean the importers.

Here is an example setup:

Hi, 

pipx is useful if you just want to install beancount and fava as standalone, isolated apps. However, if you want to implement your own importers or plugins (e.g. using frameworks like beangulp or beancount_reds_importers), then you need to install beancount, beangulp etc. as libraries (to be able to import from them), typically via pip.

In my current setup, I installed beancount (and all related packages) in a virtual env (using pipenv). I installed fava via pipx as a workaround for its incompatibility with the latest version of beancount, and thought, that installing everything via pipx might be the easiest option for newcomers - which may not be the case. Sorry for the confusion. 

Best regards,

Petr

At this point I think it's wiser to just write a script on my own
