Electron Cash is a pure python application forked from Electrum. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-pyqt5
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Electron Cash from its root directory (called Electrum), without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electron Cash from its root directory, just do:
./electron-cash
You can also install Electron Cash on your system, by running this command:
python setup.py install
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by Electron Cash, instead of using the 'packages' directory.
If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run Electron Cash. Read the next section, "Development Version".
Check out the code from Github:
git clone git://github.com/fyookball/electrum.git cd electrum
Run install (this should install dependencies):
python 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-pycurl gettext ./contrib/make_locale
To create binaries, create the 'packages' directory:
./contrib/make_packages
This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electron Cash.
python setup-release.py py2app hdiutil create -fs HFS+ -volname "Electron-Cash" -srcfolder dist/Electron-Cash.app dist/electron-cash-VERSION-macosx.dmg
