Getting started

Garlium 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 Garlium from its root directory, without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Garlium from its root directory, just do:

./garlium

You can also install Garlium on your system, by running this command:

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
python3 setup.py install

This will download and install the Python dependencies used by Garlium, instead of using the 'packages' directory.

If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run Garlium. Read the next section, "Development Version".

Development version

Check out the code from Github:

git clone git://github.com/xSke/garlium.git
cd garlium

Run install (this should install dependencies):

python3 setup.py install

Compile the icons file for Qt:

sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
pyrcc5 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py

Compile the protobuf description file:

sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto

Create translations (optional):

sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext
./contrib/make_locale

Creating Binaries

To create binaries, create the 'packages' directory:

./contrib/make_packages

This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electrum.
