SyntaxError when running Electrum-3.3.4

[sedxc]

According to https://electrum.org/#download ->Run without installing, I unpacked Electrum-3.3.4.tar.gz and ran electrum :

Code:

$ tar -xvf Electrum-3.3.4.tar.gz
$ python3 Electrum-3.3.4/run_electrum
  File "Electrum-3.3.4/run_electrum", line 53
    sys.exit(f"Error: {str(e)}. Try 'sudo python3 -m pip install <module-name>'")
                                                                                                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

but the script seems to be buggy.

Any solution to fix it ?

Thanks.

which version of python do you have installed?

I vaguely recall seeing a post very similar to this... and from memory, it was because the user was using an older version of Python 3... but latest versions of Electrum need Python 3.6. I will see if I can find the reference.

EDIT: Found it! From the Electrum Release notes: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES#L47

* The minimum python version was increased to 3.6

Use the appimage version instead. See the instructions for linux here.
