Title: Install Electrum on mint debian fails
Post by: louisLavery on September 19, 2014, 09:44:41 AM
I tried installing Electrum on Linux Mint (debian) from instructions on their download site https://electrum.org/download.html. I skipped the second command, "sudo apt-get install python-slowaes", as it seems to be specific to Ubuntu. But as the failure log mentions slowaes perhaps I need to use it anyway?

I've asked at linux mint forum, one reply says to use the 2nd line (I skipped above), but I'd like to know what you guys think first. Thanks.

tia, Louis.

Electrum needs python, if you dont install python or not all required part electrum will not work.

Linux Mint.. do you run v 17 or later? You should have Electrum in the repository, don't you.  That would be the best way to download and keep it updated.
