hi backi ....
use the ppm to install these and their dependencies
python-qt4
python-sip
python-setuptools
python-pip
libqt4-webkit
you will probably need the devx installed as well
to install electrum, open a terminal and type
Code: Select all
pip install https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.7.tar.gz#md5=5764f38d6e4bc287a577c8d16e797882
to run

I have built the packages for Electrum and it's dependencies for Carolina, it seems to work, though I wouldn't have clue what to do with it, maybe someone would like to try it out and let me know if it's working as it should.
if you have Carolina you will find it in the repo.

If you are planning to use Electrum in any pup other than Carolina it may not work.
Carolina packages are different to others in someways, here's a list of the dependencies I used.
Python-2.7.2-i486.pet
PyQt-4.9.4.pet
qt-4.8.0.pet
qt-webkit-4.8.0.pet
sip-4.13.3.pet
ecdsa-0.10.pet
slowaes-0.1a1.pet
Electrum-1.9.7.pet
If you want to try Electrum in precise then get the compatible packages, I packaged Electrum, PyQt, ecdsa, slowaes for Python 2.7 and the Carolina QT packages may not work for you,
I haven't linked them, but you can get them here
http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packages-carolina/ or just install Carolina or Carolite and do an install from the PPM
Maybe someone will build the packages needed for Precise, I don't use it so I would be starting from scratch and I don't have the time.
Good luck

I downloaded and installed more that 20 packages on tahrpup, but can't install electrum. Is there a bundled package somewhere?

hi jss83
electrum is in tahrpups PPM
it also needs python-sip (type it into the find box)
it worked for me then .... if it's still not working for you run it in a terminal
and post output here

I installed it from ppm itself, here's what I get when I enter electrum in terminal:
Code: Select all
# electrum

grab libqtwebkit from the PPM
tahrpup thinks it's already installed when it actually isn't, that was supposed to be fixed with the service pack .... but maybe didn't take properly

In ppm it is showing green tick, already installed?

ignore the tick and click on it to install

Did that when the install completed it gave this message:
File /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4.10.2 has these missing library files:

Tried to run electrum in terminal:
Code: Select all

Hi. I was trying to install electrum 3.05 as it is advised because older versions have dangerous bug.
I have installed python 3.6.4 from source.
Have pip 9.1 and python3tools in place.
Only pyqt5 is a problem. No version error.
Puppy xenial here 32bit
