（当前python版本：2.7）
1.在git下载electrum-server:
cd /
git clone https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server.git
cd /electrum-server #electrum-server可安装在任意路径下
在python2.7中输入命令：python run_electrum_server.py回车后，提示：
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run_electrum_server.py", line 37, in <module>
imp.load_module('electrumserver', *imp.find_module('src'))
File "/root/electrum-server/src/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
import storage
File "/root/electrum-server/src/storage.py", line 24, in <module>
import plyvel
ImportError: No module named plyvel
这个是由于缺少plyvel模块造成的。网上找了很多方法，已解决。
过程如下：
1.下载setuptools包并安装：
wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-19.6.tar.gz#md5=c607dd118eae682c44ed146367a17e26
tar -xzf setuptools-19.6.tar.gz && cd setuptools-19.6
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
2.安装pip：
wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-8.0.2.tar.gz#md5=3a73c4188f8dbad6a1e6f6d44d117eeb
tar -xzf pip-8.0.2.tar.gz && cd pip-8.0.2
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
pip install --upgrade pip #升级pip到新版
尝试运行electrum-server：
cd /root/electrum-server && python run_electrum_server.py
报错：ImportError: No module named argparse，执行以下命令解决：
pip install argparse
3.通过pip安装plyvel（目前是1.0.4版）
pip install plyvel
再次执行：python run_electrum_server.py
回车后又报错了：缺少irc模块
ImportError No module named irc
继续解决：
4.下载irc模块
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/python-irclib/irc-2.0.4.zip
unzip irc-2.0.4.zip
cd irc-2.0.4
unzip paver-minilib.zip
python setup.py install
假如安装irc时报错，提示找不到paver-minilib.zip，则在setup.py文件中将该zip文件名加上全路径即可安装成功：
vim setup.py
try:
import paver.tasks
except ImportError:
from os.path import exists
if exists("/usr/local/src/irc-2.0.4/paver-minilib.zip"):
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/usr/local/src/irc-2.0.4/paver-minilib.zip")
保存退出
python setup.py install
cd /electrum-server/
cp electrum.conf.sample electrum.conf
electrum要运行在非root用户：
useradd run_electrum && echo "12345678" | passwd --stdin run_electrum #用户名任意
chown -R run_electrum. /electrum-server
su - run_electrum
cd /electrum-server
python run_electrum_server.py & #正式运行electrum-server
搞定。
