Title: How to Get Trezor Wallet to Work With Electrum 2.5.4
Post by: globe-biz on December 13, 2015, 10:44:52 PM
I had electrum already installed then after this I tried to conect a trezor wallet to Electrum. Some people said that the trezor wallet would automatically conect to electrum but it has not been able to do this. Then I read to reinstal electrum and select the hardware wallet option and this made sense so I tried this and then it gave an option to install a ledger wallet , that was the only hardware wallet option this electrum software gave. So the question is how do you use trezor with electrum 2.5.4? ???

ThomasV, I confirm that when 2.5.4 is installed on Ubuntu 12.0.4 using easy installation instructions on the download page there is no option to use Trezor. When creating a new wallet > hardware wallet is chosen the only option is Ledger. How to fix please? Thanks!

on linux, you need to install the relevant libraries for trezor/ledger/keepkey
you probably already did it for Ledger, that's why it is showing the option

Hi Thomas, thanks for the reply. I used a fresh installation of 2.5.4 on Ubuntu, no extra libraries installed and support for Ledger did appear. You really should add some information to your download page letting hardware wallet owners know what libraries will need to be installed for 2.5.4 to work with Trezor on Linux. Getting Electrum to work with Trezor on Linux should not be a chore.
