Title: electrum wallet Post by: becky1963 on July 01, 2019, 05:44:28 PM I tried to install the electrum wallet to my computer and it was a zip file.
Could someone explain to me how i can install it to my computer? Thanks Title: Re: electrum wallet Post by: OmegaStarScream on July 01, 2019, 05:49:07 PM Where did you download it from? Make sure it's from this here: https://electrum.org/#download
Download the "Windows Installer", and double click it. Everything else should be self-explanatory.

If you're using Windows, you might have accidentally downloaded the Python version(assuming you're actually downloading from the original website, electrum.org). Download the Windows installer instead of you don't know how to use the Python version.

From earlier this year:windows on computer So, do as advised by the others... download and run the "Windows Installer" version (shown in the screenshot above) from: https://www.electrum.org/#download Title: Re: electrum wallet Post by: mk4 on July 02, 2019, 02:51:59 AM I don't know what you mean?, Are instaling from zip file?, if yes, You must to unzip first that file https://www.wikihow.com/Unzip-a-File then running file extensi .exe The thing though is, all the Windows installers on https://electrum.org/#download are in .exe format. Hence we're trying to make sure that OP actually downloaded from the original source.

The .zip file contain Electrum source code, not .exe/.msi installer It's actually an installer for windows OS but to be able to install it you need a python installed in your PC.I would like to add the method here if he wants to run the wallet in python. He should need to install the python (https://www.python.org/downloads/) for windows Then after installation, open command prompt then run this command line below. Code: pip install pyqt5 Code: pip install https://download.electrum.org/3.3.7/Electrum-3.3.7.zip After installation, you can use this command below to run electrum. Code: python run_electrum Or you can use this command as sample location folder. Code: python C:\Electrum-3.3.7\Electrum-3.3.7\run_electrum |
