On Ubuntu/Linux Mint you can try to install Dash Electrum with next commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ktechmidas/dash-electrum sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dash-electrum
Dash 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 Dash Electrum from its root directory without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory (except x11-hash).
To install x11-hash dependency in the 'packages' dir run once:
python3 -m pip install -t packages x11-hash
To install precise tested versions of HW libs (trezor, ledeger, etc) run once:
python3 -m pip install -t packages -r contrib/deterministic-build/requirements-hw.txt
To install precise tested version of pyqt5 run once:
python3 -m pip install -t packages -r contrib/deterministic-build/requirements-binaries.txt
To run Dash Electrum from its root directory, just do:
./electrum-dash
You can also install Dash 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 Dash 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 Dash Electrum. Read the next section, "Development Version".
Starting from Dash Electrum release 3.2.3.1 automatic Tor Proxy detection and use on wallet startup is added to Network preferences.
To use Tor Proxy on Ubuntu set it up with:
sudo apt-get install tor sudo service tor start
Other platforms setup is described at docs/tor.md
This topic is described here: docs/building-executables.md
Check out the code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Bertrand256/electrum-dash.git cd electrum-dash
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=electrum_dash --python_out=electrum_dash electrum_dash/paymentrequest.proto
Create translations (optional):
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext ./contrib/make_locale
