Electrum is a pure python application. However, if you want to use the Qt interface, then you need to install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-qt4
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), then 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-stratis
You can also install Electrum on your system, by running this command:
python 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, then you need to compile extra files before you can run Electrum. Read the next section, "Development Version".
Check out the code from Github:
git clone git://github.com/stratisproject/electrum-stratis cd electrum-stratis
Run install (this should install dependencies):
python setup.py install
Compile the icons file for Qt:
sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py
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-pycurl gettext ./contrib/make_locale
In order to create binaries, you must create the 'packages' directory:
./contrib/make_packages
This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electrum.
