Thank you for the information. I downloaded it and then verified it and all was well but when i tried to install it gave me an error.<i installed by doing this command
pip install Electrum-$ELECTRUM_VERSION.tar.gz
The software prompted me to install pip because i did not have it apparently
Then I got this message
$ pip install Electrum-$ELECTRUM_VERSION.tar.gz
