Instal Electrum on Linux - need help!)

[Archibald25]

Hello,
Who can help my to install Electrum on Linux? 
I just stopped on verifying signature. Can somebody give maybe the link or video how to install it correctly?

Thanks a lot in advance!

What files did you download and verify?

If it has .AppImage extension, all you need to do is run it either by double-click it on your file manager or use command ./electrum.AppImage on terminal

If it has .tar.gz or .zip extension, there are 2 option :
1. Extract and run it with command

Code:

./run_electrum

2. Install it with command

Code:

python3 -m pip install electrum.tar.gz[fast]

Additional to ETFbitcoin if the above post doesn't work you can try this command below.

Code:

wget https://download.electrum.org/3.3.6/electrum-3.3.6-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x electrum-3.3.6-x86_64.AppImage

Then you can run the wallet with this command below.

Code:

./electrum-3.3.6-x86_64.AppImage

Maybe can somebody help me step by step how to install the Electrum on Linux? Do you know is there any detailed instruction?

Literally posted above. Just run these commands.

Or if you really want a video: https://youtu.be/6EVmp8gAqYA

Also, stop creating multiple threads. A single one is enough.

Thanks, we've already installed!
But... we cant open the Wallet with a seed... Last time I used Electrum in October, and now I just cant open two my Wallets!!!
If somebody even stolen my money, then I could open the wallet?

Why my vallet dont even opens at all?

What are you trying to do?

So, Electrum is opening normally? The issue happens when you try to open an already existent wallet file or restore your wallet through the wizard with the seed?

What exactly happens?

Are you sure that you have the seed?
Check this guide to follow how to restore wallet with seed https://bitcoinelectrum.com/restoring-your-standard-wallet-from-seed/

Electrum is opening. But when I’m putting the seed, it doesn’t allow even to push the bottom To go ahead.
And this happens with all two my wallets

Where are these seeds from?

Did you generate them with Electrum? Are you 100% sure you didn’t make a mistake somewhere when writing them down?

Try to check the BIP39 under seed option

Look at this image below.



Let see if the button will work.

Yes, all the seeds are from Electrum and I already used them in October 2018 and made some transfers from the wallet. And I checked that there is no mistake in both of them.
But the Electrum don’t even alow  me to get inside the wallet.

If those seeds did not come from Electrum, you will need to click the "options" button on the seed entry screen... and then tick the "BIP39 seed" option.

Make sure you get a "BIP39 (Checksum: OK)" message:


If you don't see "OK" and instead you get "Checksum: failed" then it is NOT a BIP39 seed either and you probably won't see your wallet, even though Electrum will accept the invalid seed.

In this Options I see only one is Extend this seed with custom words 
No variant to choose BIP39

[HCP]

Where did you download Electrum from exactly? are you sure you downloaded from the correct website: https://www.electrum.org

The only version I know of that doesn't have BIP39 option is the Android version.

Hmmm... one of his posts say he wants to install Electrum on “Phoenix Workstay”. The only OS kind of thing I could find with “Phoenix” is this PhoenixOS which apparently runs Android... is this it? Or maybe I just went too far?

Or maybe he is using altcoin electrum with no BIP39 option.

How many phrase or words in your seeds? Can you count them for us to know if your seed is generated from Bitcoin electrum or not?

Thanks God! And thanks a lot to you!)))
You know, firstly we chose that we want to recover a Wallet with 2factor authentication. And in this way no options were avaliable and the seed didn’t work.

And now we chose just a standard Wallet and our seed goes right!
Thanks, everything is ok!!! Have a nice evening, guys!!!
