Sorry, I just don't understand. As said, at this point I do have 3.2.2 already installed and running as it it supposed to, so it's difficult for me to see the point.
According to this:
Where did you download and extract the Electrum-3.2.2.tar.gz file?
I just cannot remember, it's all been very confused, over three weeks ago (posts 4 to 12 in this thread). Possibly, I downloaded it from the Mac interface, then moved it over to the Ubuntu desktop and unpacked it there. It got deleted afterwards.
you are not able to find the directory. And this also is the reason that you can't start electrum. You just don't know where you put that file.
So you can either search your harddrive for the electrum folder and then simply run these 2 steps:
4) Enter the directory:
cd Electrum-3.2.2/
5) Finally run electrum:
python3.5 electrum
Or download it again, which takes 1 additional minute of your precious time, following all 5 steps.
