Installing Electron Cash¶
Installing on Linux¶
Linux users will need to run Electron Cash directly from the source code.
- You will need Python version 3.4.0 or higher. Check your python version with
python3 --version
. - Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo pip3 install PyQt5
- You should have already downloaded and verified a gzipped tar of the source. The file will be named something like
ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz
. - Extract the files using
tar -xvzf ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz
andcd
into the directory. - Install using
sudo python3 setup.py install
- You can now run Electron Cash using
./electron-cash
Some common issues are:
No local packages or working download links found for pyqt5
- you will need to install PyQt5 before installing Electron Cash. See step 2 above.
