Getting started
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Electrum is a pure python application. However, if you want to use the
|
|
|
|
|
Qt interface, then you need to install the Qt dependencies::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-qt4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), then 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::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./electrum
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also install Electrum on your system, by running this command::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by
|
|
|
|
|
Electrum, instead of using the 'packages' directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you cloned the git repository, then you need to compile extra files
|
|
|
|
|
before you can run Electrum. Read the next section, "Development
|
|
|
|
|
Version".

Development version
|
|
|
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check out the code from Github::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd electrum
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run install (this should install dependencies)::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compile the icons file for Qt::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools
|
|
|
|
|
pyrcc4 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-pycurl gettext
|
|
|
|
|
./contrib/make_locale
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating Binaries
|
|
|
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to create binaries, you must create the 'packages' directory::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./contrib/make_packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electrum.
