DAY 2

First I would like to thanks those who have given their time in trying to help me with this project. It is very much appreciated.

After yesterday, things where getting just too complicated for me. Today I have decided to try and get Electrum 3.3.6 working on my Lubuntu 16.04 desktop using the Appimage.

I have downloaded the Appimage and now have the folder Electrum-3.3.6 in my Home Folder. The Electrum-3.3.6 folder contains-

Folders:
     contrib
     electrum
     Electrum.egg-info
     PACKAGES

Files:
     AUTHORS
     Electrum Bitcoin Wallet
     LICENCE
     MANIFEST.in
     PKG-INFO
     README.rst
     RELEASE-NOTES
     run_electrum
     setup.cfg
     setup.py

I then double-click on the file Electrum Bitcoin Wallet. My hard disk works for about 20 seconds and then nothing.

Next was to double-click on the file run_electrum and then click on “Execute”. Hard disk works for about 5 seconds and then nothing.

Next was to double-click on the file run_electrum and then click on “Execute in Terminal”. The terminal window opens and text appears in the window. The window then closes before I can read the text.

How can I get Electrum 3.3.6 to work on my desktop?
