How to use TestNet or Regtest network on Electrum?

[prashant.singh]

It seems electrum supports test-network. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/541. But I didn't find anything related to this in http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/. So how to use test-network on electrum? Is there any tutorial/documentation available on how to use test-net in electrum? Thanks
Update: I have downloaded petrkr-testnet https://github.com/petrkr/electrum/tree/testnet . But on running `./electrum`, I am getting an error like : Error: AES does not seem to be installed. Try 'sudo pip install slowaes'.

I asked a question regarding this issue on bitcoin StackExchange. [url ]https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/52976/error-aes-does-not-seem-to-be-installed-try-sudo-pip-install-slowaes[/url]

I believe you round just run

Code:

./electrum --testnet

to run it on the testnet. I don't think you need the petrkr-testnet fork of Electrum.

The error regarding the AES package means you don't have that python module installed. Running that install command would fix that.

Great!!! It was that simple. I didn't find this in documentation. I think the documentation needs an update.
Thanks for the answer, I don't know how this bitcoin.org works, is there anyway, I van accept or upvote your answer.
