Bitcoin / Electrum / how to run eletrum after install on linux

on: March 01, 2020, 09:01:04 PM

I installed following the instructions, but now there is nothing on my desktop or in the menu.
which electrum finds nothing.

Code:

Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: how to start electrum after python install

Folks, I think we can close this thread with my concluding remarks: I followed the instructions on electrum.org to install the python version of the wallet. Running it from the download without installing works fine. This means there are no libs missing. The inability to find the executable and the error when I provide the path to the executable means the devs who did the package install did a sloppy job. I am not a full time python developer, but I write enough of it. I can fix the install myself, but nobody will pay me so I am not going to waste time. The advice for subsequent users is to run without installing. Thanks everybody for the comments.

on: February 24, 2019, 09:46:02 PM

never done this folks, so excuse my ignorance. what is the best way to use electrum to buy BTC at an ATM. when I click on the barcode image in electrum receive tab it puts it in a window. am I supposed to take a snapshot and put that on my phone, so then it can be scanned by the ATM??

Code: stephen@stephen-ideapad:~$ python3 electrum python3: can't open file 'electrum': [Errno 2] No such file or directory anyway, I found it if you read my top message, but it still fails on line 53. sloppy packaging by the devs.

Maybe I should, but I don't. This is a python install ! BTW running without install works. looks like another half-ass python package.

Bitcoin / Electrum / how to start electrum after python install

on ubuntu 18.04 I followed the electrum.org instruction to install with python. how do I start it?? I found it installed under ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/electrum and I tried running ~/.local/bin/electrum but it fails on line 53 which is just checking imports. also it looks like I should start it with an option in order to get the GUI. Funny there is no instructions at all on electrum.org
