Unable to run Zclassis Electrum wallet, need advice.

[cuteman]

Hello gentelmen,

I've downloaded Zclassis Electrum wallet from github  (https://github.com/BTCP-community/electrum-zcl/releases), Linux version  (Z!1.0.3.tar.gz  archive file), unarchived it, read  README file,  that says:

If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run
Electrum from its root directory, without installing it on your
system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages'
directory. To run Electrum from its root directory, just do::

    ./electrum


When I run ./electrum, I get error:

ImportError: No module named 'pyblake2'


I searched for pyblake2 (Python module), and istalled it .   Ans I still get the same error:   No module named 'pyblake2'


Any idea, please??

Stupid Question: did you unpack it before running it from the .tar.gz format? Just wondering if you tried loading the mainfile directly from archive software and just had that?

If not:
• Is there another version that you could download?
• Is there something in the readme about installing the pyblake module. I tried installing a module for bitocin core on Linux and missed a '-dev' extension - the -dev did not appear in the error. If there's a pyblake2-dev or module like that then that might be what is throwing the error. Does it say anything else is needed, like python installation (though I assume your linux distro came with python27 at least).

Thanks for commenting 

Yes, I unpacked the archive, and run ./electrum in the unarchived folder.  

There is another version , which I already tried  ( Electrum_ZCL-Z_1.0.3-py3.6.egg )  - but it has no Readme file inside , and I have no idea how to run it  

There is no information about pyblake in the readme.    After installing it, I get a message  "Successfully installed pyblake2-1.1.0"


Maybe it's worth of raising a bug ticket on the github?

Yes, a bug report is probably your best bet of getting it to work. Maybe they made an issue if it's an uncommon linux distro or one that they haven't used to test it.

I'm not sure there's really much I can suggest if the readme file is that bleak to not contain any more instructions on if there are any dependences actually required.
