Woob (short for “Web outside of browsers”) is is “a collection of applications able to interact with websites, without requiring the user to open them in a browser”. One of such applications allows specifically to interact with financial institutions. KMyMoney provides a plugin that employs it directly, therefore allowing to import transactions from account at those institutions which otherwise do not offer support for any other financial protocol that KMyMoney handles.

An increasing number of Linux distributions provide a package for Woob, and this is preferable, if one is available for you.

You need to install Python 3 first before continuing. All Linux distributions provide packages for Python, but you can always download a package for your system from the official website.

With Python 3 installed, you should now be able to easily download and install required Woob modules. Please refer to the instructions on Woob website.

KMyMoney uses the “woob bank” module.
