Electrum-DSR - Lightweight Desire client =====================================

Licence: MIT Licence
Author: Thomas Voegtlin
Language: Python
Homepage: https://electrum-desire.org/

Electrum-DSR is a pure python application. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4

If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Electrum-DSR from its root directory, without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electrum-DSR from its root directory, just do:

./electrum-desire

You can also install Electrum-DSR on your system, by running this command:

python setup.py install

This will download and install the Python dependencies used by Electrum-DSR, instead of using the 'packages' directory.

If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run Electrum-DSR. Read the next section, "Development Version".

Check out the code from Github:

git clone https://github.com/akhavr/electrum-desire
cd electrum-desire

Run install (this should install dependencies):

python setup.py install

Compile the icons file for Qt:

sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools
pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py

Compile the protobuf description file:

sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto

Create translations (optional):

sudo apt-get install python-pycurl gettext
./contrib/make_locale

To create binaries, create the 'packages' directory:

./contrib/make_packages

This directory contains the python dependencies used by Electrum.

# On MacPorts installs:
sudo python setup-release.py py2app

# On Homebrew installs:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" sudo python setup-release.py py2app --includes sip

sudo hdiutil create -fs HFS+ -volname "Electrum" -srcfolder dist/Electrum.app dist/electrum-VERSION-macosx.dmg
