Show final Linux path in instructions

Open jidanni opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

https://electrum-ltc.org/ says for Linux

sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip python-dev
sudo pip2 install https://electrum-ltc.org/download/Electrum-LTC-2.9.3.1.tar.gz
electrum-ltc

But the last step is wrong. bash: electrum-ltc: command not found Indeed, sudo (I actually used su) stashed them in some system directory not on the user's path. Please update the instructions.

If we want to be fussy, every single line of those instructions is "wrong". Most importantly, they assume an apt-based distro, which is far from being the same thing as "Linux". But personally I've always seen them as more of a guideline than an exact process, so I never objected.

The instructions were originally copied from Electrum's website, and appropriately modified. For the record, in the original the final invocation was (and still is) missing altogether.

Feel free to propose improvements.
