I have the Python central tar.gz file.

I don’t know how to install it. I unzipped it, but now what? After unzipping it I run ./configure, but I get a no such file or directory. Yes, I am in the directory that was created after I unzipped.

I've been trying to use electrum, but I get a ecdsa is not installed error. I can't install it, because I need pip, but I can't install pip because it needs python-central.

Make sure you are connected to the internet and then do:

sudo apt-get update

and then:

sudo apt-get install python-central

  • Properly close all other terminals and Ubuntu Software center as well, if it is opened

The package python-central seems unavailable in Ubuntu 14.04. One may add LinuxMint to their sources - or download the DEB file, e.g., from UbuntuUpdates.org to install via Sotware Center.
