1) Open up terminal on ubuntu --> create a directory in a particular location where you want electrum to be extracted to (use the Code: mkdir <yourdirname> 2) Install Python 3 and it's dependencies (it's needed for electrum 3.0, since it now uses python3): type in Code: sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip 3) Change directory to the directory you've created above (write down: Code: cd <yourdirname> 4) Now do: Code: wget https://download.electrum.org/3.0.1/Electrum-3.0.1.tar.gz 5) After download is done, untar it by doing: Code: tar -xvzf Electrum-3.0.1.tar.gz 6) Change directory to this newly created folder by doing: Code: cd Electrum-3.0.1 7) run: Code: sudo python3 setup.py install Code: python3 electrum Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further questions.

Considering that you've already installed python3-setuptools (by running sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools) do the following Code: sudo easy_install3 pip Then check the version of pip to confirm that it's installed: Code: pip3 --version More info here on how you can switch back to Python 2's pip if and when needed: https://askubuntu.com/questions/412178/how-to-install-pip-for-python-3-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts Also, I'm not sure if python3-pyqt5 package is available for 12.04, but I guess you'll either have to follow the guide here: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/installation.html#installing-from-wheels to install pyqt5 or build it by building and installing SIP and then building PyQT for python 3 by following the guide here: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/installation.html#building-and-installing-from-source |
