Thank you for the information. I downloaded it and then verified it and all was well but when i tried to install it gave me an error.<i installed by doing this command

pip install Electrum-$ELECTRUM_VERSION.tar.gz

The software prompted me to install pip because i did not have it apparently
Then I got this message


 $ pip install Electrum-$ELECTRUM_VERSION.tar.gz

Add the --pre switch:

Code:
pip install --pre Elecrum-$ELECTRUM_VERSION.tar.gz

You need this for slowaes in newer versions of pip.
