ElectrumSV is a pure python application forked from Electrum. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
If you downloaded the source archive (zip or tar.gz), you can run ElectrumSV from its top-level directory, without installing it on your system.
To run ElectrumSV from its top-level directory, first install the core dependencies:
pip3 --user -r contrib/requirements/requirements.txt pip3 --user -r contrib/requirements/requirements-binaries.txt
If you have a hardware wallet, or want to ensure that the hardware wallet support can work, install their specific dependencies:
pip3 --user -r contrib/requirements/requirements-hw.txt
Then invoke it as so:
./electrum-sv
You can also install ElectrumSV on your system. This will download and install most dependencies used by ElectrumSV. This is useful if you with to use the electrumsv Python library, perhaps for Bitcoin application development using ElectrumSV as a wallet server. And of course it should make the electrum-sv command accessible for use.
In order to do so, run these commands:
pip3 --user -r contrib/requirements/requirements-binaries.txt pip3 install .
The easiest way to run ElectrumSV on Windows, is to obtain an executable for the latest version from our website. This Git repository has a build-hashes.txt which should contain SHA-256 hashes for all our downloads. You can confirm that you have downloaded a valid file, by comparing it's SHA-256 hash to the hash we provide for the same file name.
You can also run from the Git repository directly, which is useful if you wish to customise or help us develop ElectrumSV.
To run ElectrumSV from its top-level directory, first install the core dependencies:
pip3 --user -r contrib\requirements\requirements.txt pip3 --user -r contrib\requirements\requirements-binaries.txt
If you have a hardware wallet, or want to ensure that the hardware wallet support can work, install their specific dependencies:
pip3 --user -r contrib\requirements\requirements-hw.txt
Then invoke it as so:
py -3 electrum-sv
You can also install ElectrumSV on your system. This will download and install most dependencies used by ElectrumSV. This is useful if you with to use the electrumsv Python library, perhaps for Bitcoin application development using ElectrumSV as a wallet server.
In order to do so, run these commands:
pip3 --user -r contrib\requirements\requirements-binaries.txt pip3 install .
Check out the code from Github:
git clone https://github.com/ElectrumSV/ElectrumSV cd ElectrumSV
Run the pip installs (this should install dependencies):
pip3 install .
Create translations (optional):
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext ./contrib/make_locale
Running unit tests (with the pytest package):
pytest electrumsv/tests
Running pylint:
pylint --rcfile=.pylintrc electrumsv
Builds are created automatically for Git commits through the Azure Pipelines CI services which Microsoft and Github kindly make available to us.
The easiest way for you to create builds is to fork the project, and to link it to Azure Pipelines and they should also happen automatically. If you wish to look at the specific code that handles a given part of the build process, these will be referenced below for the various operating systems. To see how these are engaged, refer to the Azure Pipelines YAML files.
Run the following to create the release archives under dist/:
./contrib/make_source_archives.py
