1) Download the package from the website manually

https://download.electrum.org/2.7.17/Electrum-2.7.17.tar.gz

2) Unpack it, unpack it in Documents just for simplicity

3) Open the terminal and enter the following

Code:

cd Documents

Code:

cd Electrum-2.7.17

Code:

sudo python setup.py install

Then enter your computer password, and it should work.

If for some reason it gives error, then update the packages list with

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

and retry.

Thanks!
