Note: If running from source, Python 3.6 or above is required to run Oregano. If your system lacks Python 3.6, you have other options, such as the AppImage / binary releases or running from source using pyenv (see section Running from source on old Linux below).
macOS: It is recommended that macOS users run the binary .dmg as that's simpler to use and has everything included. Otherwise, if you want to run from source, see section Running from source on macOS below.
Oregano is a pure python application forked from Electron Cash. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtsvg
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Oregano from its root directory (called Oregano), without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Oregano from its root directory, just do:
./oregano-app
You can also install Oregano 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 Oregano, instead of using the 'packages' directory.
If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run Oregano. Read the next section, "Development Version".
Oregano support Ledger Nano S hardware wallet by pretending it's a BCH wallet. If you plan to use you need an additional dependency, namely btchip. To install it run this command:
sudo pip3 install btchip-python
Warning [1]: When tricking Ledger you're using Bitcoin Cash, not Ergon, it will give you a bitcoincash: address for verification. You can convert your ergon: address to bitcoincash: format with a script scripts/addree
Warning [2]: When using a nonstandard derivation path (default derivation path of Ergon is different than of Bitcoin Cash) Ledger requires you to confirm each utxo spend with multiple clicks, which is very inconvenient if you have hundreds of coins. Use wisely.
Check your python version >= 3.6, and install pyqt5, as instructed above in the Getting started section above or Running from source on old Linux section below.
If you are on macOS, see the Running from source on macOS section below.
Check out the code from Github:
git clone https://github.com/Ergon-moe/Oregano cd Oregano
Install the python dependencies:
pip3 install -r contrib/requirements/requirements.txt --user
Create translations (optional):
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext ./contrib/make_locale
Compile libsecp256k1 (optional, yet highly recommended):
sudo apt-get install libtool automake ./contrib/make_secp
For plugin development, see the plugin documentation.
Running unit tests (very optional, advanced users only):
pip install tox tox
Tox will take care of building a faux installation environment, and ensure that the mapped import paths work correctly.
If your Linux distribution has a different version of python 3 (such as python 3.5 in Debian 9), it is recommended to do a user dir install with pyenv. This allows Electron Cash to run completely independently of your system configuration.
- Install pyenv in your user
account. Follow the printed instructions about updating your environment
variables and
.bashrc, and restart your shell to ensure that they are loaded. - Run
pyenv install 3.6.9. This will download and compile that version of python, storing it under.pyenvin your home directory. cdinto the Oregano directory. Runpyenv local 3.6.9which inserts a file.python-versioninto the current directory.- While still in this directory, run
pip install pyqt5. - If you are installing from the source file (.tar.gz or .zip) then you are
ready and you may run
./oregano. If you are using the git version, then continue by following the Development version instructions above.
You need to install either MacPorts or HomeBrew. Follow the instructions on either site for installing (Xcode from Apple's developer site is required for either).
- After installing either HomeBrew or MacPorts, clone this repository and switch to the directory:
git clone https://github.com/Ergon-moe/Oregano && cd Oregano - Install python 3.6 or 3.7. For brew:
brew install python3or if using MacPorts:sudo port install python36 - Install PyQt5:
python3 -m pip install --user pyqt5 - Install Oregano requirements:
python3 -m pip install --user -r contrib/requirements/requirements.txt - Compile libsecp256k1 (optional, yet highly recommended):
./contrib/make_secp. This requires GNU tools and automake, install with brew:brew install coreutils automakeor if using MacPorts:sudo port install coreutils automake - At this point you should be able to just run the sources:
./oregano
