Most of the effort involved in getting started with jGnash is creating a personalized income and expense account structure that best suits your needs.
If you are familiar with other personal finance applications, you may notice that jGnash uses income and expense accounts instead of income and expense categories. Functionally, there is no difference, other than jGnash allows you see a detailed transaction register of the income and expense accounts as easily as you would look at your bank accounts.
