Topic: Unable to install Electrum 2.1.1, please help (Read 1510 times)
Thanks a lot, btchris! I'm able to get it installed now. I wouldn't have realized pip was contributing to the problem.
Looks like you can blame this one on Google 
pip versions prior to 1.4 (which you three apparently have) will inadvertently install pre-release versions of libraries uploaded to PyPI, and Google uploaded a broken pre-release of Google protobuf on May 1st (here's the bug report).
Luckily, the are two easy work-arounds. (1) upgrade pip (this option will overwrite the system-provided pip):
or (2) force pip to install the most recent stable version of protobuf:
After doing one of the above, just install Electrum normally.

Same error. Can't install on Raspberry Pi 2:
Can't find required file: ../src/google/protobuf/unittest.proto
EDIT:
Installed development version from GitHub

I have exactly the same problem. I tried installing every 2.x version, but all of them have that "Can't find required file: ../src/google/protobuf/unittest.proto" error. Is this due to a missing package or non-standard setting in this distro, I wonder? Whatever package it might be, I'm sure it's available.
