Getting started
===============

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

    sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
    sudo pip2 install pyblake2

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

    ./electrum

You can also install Electrum 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, instead of using the 'packages' directory.

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



Development version
===================

Check out the code from Github::

    git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
    cd electrum

Run install (this should install dependencies)::

    python3 setup.py install

**And then...**

For Mac:
--------

Copy the newly generated `build/scripts-3.6/electrum` to the Electrum directory::

    cp -f build/scripts-3.6/electrum electrum-mac

Compile the icon files for QT::

    pyrcc5 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py

Run::

    ./electrum-mac


For Linux:
----------

Compile the icons file for QT::

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

For the linux app launcher (start menu) icon::

    sudo desktop-file-install electrum.desktop

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

Run::
    
    ./electrum



ZCL Hints and Debug
===================

There are several useful scripts in::

    scripts

This is a good initial check to determine whether things are working.::

    cd scripts
    python3 block_headers

It should run, validating chunks without error.

Also be sure to check out:::

    ~/.electrum-zcl/

    `~/.electrum-zcl/wallets/` has your wallet files - this folder can be backed up.

    `~/.electrum-zcl/config` has your Electrum connection object.


Creating Binaries
=================


To create binaries, create the 'packages' directory::

    ./contrib/make_packages

This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electrum.

Mac OS X / macOS
----------------

::
    
    # On MacPorts installs: 
    sudo python3 setup-release.py py2app
    
    # On Homebrew installs: 
    ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" sudo python3 setup-release.py py2app --includes sip
    
    sudo hdiutil create -fs HFS+ -volname "Electrum" -srcfolder dist/Electrum.app dist/electrum-VERSION-macosx.dmg
