[thob]

Code:

sudo python3 -m pip install https://download.electrum.org/3.3.3/Electrum-3.3.3.tar.gz#egg=electrum[fast]

doesn't work whereas

Code:

sudo python3 -m pip install https://download.electrum.org/3.3.3/Electrum-3.3.3.tar.gz

Any idea why that is?

Thanks

I face the same error, and before the "requirements message already satisfied" it seems that python got an issue with the .cache/pip directory. So my best guess is that python can't execute the cache directory but shows that the requirements to install the package are already there.

A workaround is to delete the .cache/pip directory, make a new one and make sure that your user account has the correct permission to write/read.
