How do I install Electrum in Trisquel 8?
Back in Trisquel 7 it came with Electrum and I used it a lot. It does not come with Trisquel 8, and it's not in the repos either. I still have my keys form the old electrum. How do I get it back in Trisquel 8?

It seems pretty easy.
I am a silly man.
Thanks.

Here's how I install Electrum.
Install pip for Python 2 branch preferably 2.7 (the latest version) - the package should be called something like python2-pip or python2.7-pip. Then install the latest version from https://download.electrum.org/ using pip, e.g.
sudo pip2.7 install https://download.electrum.org/2.9.3/Electrum-2.9.3.tar.gz
(You might need to replace pip2.7 with the command provided by the package you installed.)
(I'm recommending using the old python2-pip since I failed to install Electrum using the newer version of pip on Hyperbola. It might work for you though on Trisquel.)
