on ubuntu 18.04 I followed the electrum.org instruction to install with python.
how do I start it?? I found it installed under ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/electrum
and I tried running ~/.local/bin/electrum
but it fails on line 53 which is just checking imports. also it looks like I should start it with an option in order to get the GUI. Funny there is no instructions at all on electrum.org
