Getting started

Electrum-STAK is a pure python application. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5

If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Electrum-STAK from its root directory, without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electrum-STAK from its root directory, just do

./electrum-stak

You can also install Electrum-STAK on your system, by running this command

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
python3 setup.py install

This will download and install the Python dependencies used by Electrum-STAK, instead of using the 'packages' directory.

If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run Electrum-STAK. Read the next section, "Development Version".

Development version

Check out the code from Github

git clone https://github.com/straks/electrum-stak.git
cd electrum-stak

Need lyra2rev2_hash

pip3 install https://github.com/straks/lyra2re-hash-python/archive/master.zip

Run install (this should install dependencies)

python3 setup.py install

Compile the icons file for Qt

sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
pyrcc5 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py

Compile the protobuf description file

sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto

Create translations (optional)

sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext
./contrib/make_locale
