i entered:
>python3 -m pip install --user Electrum
to install it
That skipped all the steps to install Electrum's dependencies.
Follow the instructions provided in Electrum's download page:
electrum.org/#download (
scroll-down to "Installation from Python sources")
But heads-up; AFAIK, Linux Mint has issues with the last "
Install with PIP" step.
You can follow the instructions from "
Install dependencies" to "
Run without installing" part without issues though.
Since it'll not be installed, you can only use:
python3 Electrum-4.5.8/run_electrum to launch Electrum. (
the name and version should match the downloaded package)
You could try the last step to test if the mentioned issue is fixed though.
