Can anybody guide me on how to install the Electrum-Dash on linux, mint/kali/ubuntu everytime i try i get this

Code:
Installing Electrum-DASH-2.4.1rc2

Electrum-DASH for Linux supports x86_64 machines only
You're recommended to use a source installation:
git clone https://github.com/mazaclub/electrum-dash
cd electrum-dash
git checkout 2.4.1rc2
pyrcc4 icons.prc -o gui/qt/icons_qrc.py
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 pip
sudo pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install

BTW am running my linux distros from live-usb.

Anyone?

Through trial and error I found the following steps -- give it a try and let me know, it was a bit finicky for me as well :-)

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip libudev-dev libusb-1.0.0-dev
sudo pip install cython
sudo pip install hidapi
sudo apt-get install python-websocket
sudo python setup.py sdist
sudo pip install --pre dist/Electrum-DASH-2.4.1rc2.tar.gz
./electrum-dash

Edit: this is all done from within the /electrum-dash/src folder, after cloning from github

Thanks for answering i guess everybody is so "exited/focus" on the pump,

where do i get the Electrum-DASH-2.4.1rc2.tar.gz on dash.org i only get the Electrum-DASH-2.4.1rc2.bin file, teheres no src folder after i clonend from github???

No problem! Derp - I don't know why I was thinking there was a "src" folder, please ignore that :-) You can run those commands in the root electrum-dash folder, there is no "src" folder.

Theoretically, running this command (I forgot this one last time, sorry):

pyrcc4 icons.prc -o gui/qt/icons_qrc.py

then:

sudo python setup.py sdist

should create the .tar.gz file in a dist folder, then:

sudo pip install --pre dist/Electrum-DASH-2.4.1rc2.tar.gz

Should install it. What happens when you run those three commands individually?
