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