I'm implementing bitcoin wallet for the first time, so i don't have much knowledge on this thing.
But by following electrum official documentation , i have tried to install electrum on my macbook and it worked well, now i want to install same on my server running centOS. but installation command python3 run_electrum throws this error
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.
Aborted (core dumped)
Is there anything i'm missing here, i'm using python 3.6.4
Ok instead of running electrum direct i've tried to install electrum with this command
python3 -m pip install Electrum-3.3.8.tar.gz
then
sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/electrum /usr/local/bin/electrum
after this now i am able to use electrum command on my server, i've also successfully created wallet now
Also remember that you can run electrum from any folder you choose, following the alternative instructions from electrum:
tar -xvf Electrum-3.3.8.tar.gz
python3 Electrum-3.3.8/run_electrum
