Error: No module named dns. Try 'sudo pip install <module-name>'

[prashant.singh]

I am trying to run electrum testnet:

Steps I followed:

      

Code:

git clone https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
		cd electrum
		pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py
		./electrum --testnet

But I am getting an error as:

Error: No module named dns. Try 'sudo pip install <module-name>'

What does this mean? Am I missing anything?

you didn't install electrum like you were supposed to so dependencies haven't been installed. you have to install it using pip2. the instructions are on the download page of the electrum site.

You should use pip/pip2 to install electrum. I believe it should also install some dependencies it depends on to run. You can manually install electrum without pip but its easier to use it.
