1. GETTING STARTED

---

To run Electrum from this directory, just do:

./electrum-exe

If you are on Ubuntu, install required libraries:

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-pbkdf2

If you install Electrum on your system, you can run it from any directory:

sudo python setup.py install
electrum-exe

If you don't want to install Exectrum globally, see section 3. FINE-TUNING YOUR INSTALLATION

2. HOW OFFICIAL PACKAGES ARE CREATED

---

python mki18n.py
pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py
python setup.py sdist --format=zip,gztar

On Mac OS X:

# On port based installs
sudo python setup-release.py py2app

# On brew installs
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" sudo python setup-release.py py2app --includes sip

sudo hdiutil create -fs HFS+ -volname "Electrum-EXE" -srcfolder dist/Electrum-exe.app dist/electrum-exe-VERSION-macosx.dmg

3. FINE-TUNING YOUR INSTALLATION (ADVANCED)

---

Electrum requires these python libraries:

• PyQt4
• ecdsa
• slowaes

Install requirements on Linux

You have 3 installation options:

1. Easiest: find and install libraries using your OS's package manager. Name and availability of packages depends on the distribution you are running.

2. Recommended: Partially isolated environment using virtualenv.
   Initialize python virtual environment intovenv directory:

    virtualenv venv --system-site-packages
   

   or if you are on ArchLinux:

    virtualenv2 venv --system-site-packages
   

   Activate virtualenv with

    source venv/bin/activate
   

   Install slowaes and ecdsa:

    pip install slowaes -v --pre
    pip install ecdsa
   

   Then, to save your time from compiling pyqt4 from source, install PyQt4 package using your package manager. On Ubuntu, use:

    sudo apt-get install python-qt4
   

   if you are on ArchLinux:

    sudo pacman -S python2-pyqt4
   

3. The hard way: Fully isolated environment using virtualenv
   Initialize python virtual environment into venv directory:

    virtualenv venv
   

   or if you are on ArchLinux:

    virtualenv2 venv
   

   Activate virtualenv with

    source venv/bin/activate
   

   Install slowaes and ecdsa:

    pip install slowaes -v --pre
    pip install ecdsa
   

   Then you can compile PyQt4 from source.
   Detailed instructions can be found in PyQt4 installation guide

When dependencies are ready, install like in section 1. GETTING STARTED:

python setup.py install
electrum-exe

4. TROUBLESHOOTING AND BUG REPORTING
