Electrum is a pure python application. However, if you want to use the Qt interface, then you need to install the Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-qt4
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), then you can run Electrum from its root directory, without installing it on your system. To run Electrum from this directory, just do:
./electrum-navcoin
If you cloned the git repository, then you need to compile extra files before you can run Electrum. Read the next section, "Development Version".
Check out the code from Github:
git clone git://github.com/navcoindev/electrum-navcoin.git cd electrum-navcoin
Compile the icons file for Qt:
sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/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:
sudo apt-get install python-pycurl gettext ./contrib/make_locale
If you install Electrum on your system, you can run it from any directory.
sudo python setup.py install
In oder to creating binaries, you must create the 'packages' directory:
./contrib/make_packages
# On port based installs sudo python setup-release.py py2app
# On brew 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
