(If you've come here looking to simply run Electrum-DOI, you may download it here.)
Electrum-DOI itself is pure Python, and so are most of the required dependencies, but not everything. The following sections describe how to run from source, but here is a TL;DR:
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0 python3 -m pip install --user .[gui,crypto]
If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
For elliptic curve operations, libsecp256k1 is a required dependency:
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
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.
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Electrum-DOI from its root directory without installing it on your system; all the pure python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electrum-DOI from its root directory, just do:
./run_electrum_doi
You can also install Electrum-DOI on your system, by running this command:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip python3 -m pip install --user .
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by
Electrum-DOI instead of using the 'packages' directory.
It will also place an executable named electrum-doi in ~/.local/bin,
so make sure that is on your PATH variable.
Check out the code from GitHub:
git clone git://github.com/namecoin/electrum-doi.git cd electrum-doi git submodule update --init
Run install (this should install dependencies):
python3 -m pip install --user -e .
Compile the Qt UI:
sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools ./contrib/make_qt_forms
Create translations (optional):
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext ./contrib/pull_locale
Finally, to start Electrum:
./run_electrum_doi

Electrum-DOI also maintains an auxpow branch. This branch is identical to the upstream Bitcoin version of Electrum (e.g. it doesn't have any name support or Doichain rebranding), except that it supports AuxPoW (merged mining). It may be useful as a starting point for porting Electrum to other AuxPoW-based cryptocurrencies.
