Getting started

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

// linux
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5

// macOS (thanks @puruoni)
brew install pyqt5
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/pyqt@5/bin:$PATH"
cp -pr /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pyqt@5/5.15.9/lib/python3.10/site-packages/*  /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages/.

// *** In the case of pyenv ***
cp -pr /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pyqt@5/5.15.9/lib/python3.10/site-packages/* /Users/[username]/.pyenv/versions/3.10.8/lib/python3.10/site-packages/.

For elliptic curve operations, libsecp256k1_ is a required dependency::

// linux
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0

// macOS
brew tap cuber/homebrew-libsecp256k1
brew install libsecp256k1

Alternatively, when running from a cloned repository, a script is provided to build libsecp256k1 yourself::

sudo apt-get install automake libtool
./contrib/make_libsecp256k1.sh

Due to the need for fast symmetric ciphers, either one of pycryptodomex_ or cryptography_ is required. Install from your package manager (or from pip)::

sudo apt-get install python3-cryptography

If you would like hardware wallet support, see this_.

Development version (git clone)

Check out the code from GitHub::

git clone https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum-electrum.git
cd qtum-electrum
git submodule update --init

Run install (this should install dependencies)::

python3 -m pip install -r ./contrib/requirements/requirements-eth.txt
python3 -m pip install --user -e .

// fix protobuf on M1 macOS
export PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python

Create translations (optional)::

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

Finally, to start Electrum::

./run_electrum
