Electrum is a pure python application. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Electrum from its root directory without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electrum from its root directory, just do:
./run_efc
You can also install Electrum on your system, by running this command:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3 -m pip install .[fast]
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by Electrum instead of using the 'packages' directory. The 'fast' extra contains some optional dependencies that we think are often useful but they are not strictly needed.
If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run Electrum. Read the next section, "Development Version".
Check out the code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/fairchainsx/electrumfairchains cd electrumfairchains
Run install (this should install dependencies):
python3 -m pip install .[fast]
Compile the protobuf description file:
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler protoc --proto_path=electrumfairchains --python_out=electrumfairchains electrumfairchains/paymentrequest.proto
If you install ElectrumFairChains on your system, you can run it from any directory.
If you have pip, you can do:
python3 setup.py sdist sudo pip install --pre dist/ElectrumFairChains-3.3.4.tar.gz
If you don't have pip, install with:
python setup.py sdist sudo python setup.py install
