sudo add-apt-repository ppa:axerunners/axe-electrum sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install axe-electrum
Source
Axe Electrum is a pure python application. If you want to use theQt interface, install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can runAxe Electrum from its root directory without installing it on yoursystem; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages'directory (except x11-hash).
To install x11-hash dependency in the 'packages' dir run once:
python3 -m pip install -t packages x11-hash
To install precise tested versions of HW libs (trezor, ledeger, etc) run once:
python3 -m pip install -t packages -r contrib/deterministic-build/requirements-hw.txt
To install precise tested version of pyqt5 run once:
python3 -m pip install -t packages -r contrib/deterministic-build/requirements-binaries.txt
To run Axe Electrum from its root directory, just do:
./electrum-axe
You can also install Axe Electrum on your system, by running this command:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3 -m pip install .[fast]
This will download and install the Python dependencies used byAxe Electrum instead of using the 'packages' directory.The 'fast' extra contains some optional dependencies that we thinkare often useful but they are not strictly needed.
If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra filesbefore you can run Axe Electrum. Read the next section, "DevelopmentVersion".
