There's a mailing-list dedicated to Beancount, please post questions there, so others can share in the responses. More general discussions about command-line accounting also occur on the Ledger mailing-list so you might be interested in that group as well.
You can obtain the source code from the official Git repository on Github:
See the Installing Beancount document for more details.
There are three versions
- Version 3 (branch master): The in-development next version of Beancount since June 2020. This is unstable and you want to use version 2 below. The scope of changes is described in this document.
- Version 2 (branch v2): The current stable version of Beancount, in maintenance mode as of July 2020. This was a complete rewrite of the first version, which introduced a number of constraints and a new grammar and much more. Use this now.
- Version 1 (branch v1): The original version of Beancount. Development on this version halted in 2013. This initial version was intended to be similar to and partially compatible with Ledger. Do not use this.
