OS = LUbuntu 16.04.6
Currently installed Electrum 3.1.2

I am trying to upgrade to Electrum 3.3.6. I take the following steps:

   
Code:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
     wget https://download.electrum.org/3.3.6/Electrum-3.3.6.tar.gz
     sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip

All works well, then I:

   
Code:
python3 -m pip install --user Electrum-3.3.6.tar.gz[fast]

and get the following:

Code:
     Processing ./Electrum-3.3.6.tar.gz
         ERROR: Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
         ERROR: Error: Electrum requires Python version >= 3.6.1...
         ----------------------------------------
     ERROR: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-req-build-ixoym5m6/

I have tried this multiple time with the same results.

How can I upgrade my Electrum 3.1.2 to 3.3.6?
