Hello,
I tried to install the newest electrum on a rasberry pi with OS Raspbian Stretch
It did succeed.
However when I run 'electrum' it gives the following error:
/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/protobuf/internal/well_known_types.py:788: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated, and in 3.8 it will stop working
collections.MutableMapping.register(Struct)
/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/protobuf/internal/well_known_types.py:832: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated, and in 3.8 it will stop working
collections.MutableSequence.register(ListValue)
Error: Could not import PyQt5 on Linux systems, you may try 'sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5'
I've done all I could think of.
Twice.
Below is a transcript of my journey from the second time.
I'm sure I'm missing something tiny.
But what?
Please help.
