There are three export options for exporting a PSBT. The default option previously only put derivation path suffixes for pubkeys (paths relative to the intermediate xpub), now it puts the full path (if is known by the keystore). The "export for hardware device; include xpubs" option works same as before: it puts both full paths and also global xpubs into the PSBT. Hence the difference between the default option and the "include xpubs" option is now only that the latter puts global xpubs into the PSBT. This change is largely made for user-convenient in mind. Now exporting a PSBT should be less error-prone: particularly for the single-signer coldcard with sdcard usage, the default option will now work. closes #5969 related #5955

Getting started
===============
(*If you've come here looking to simply run Electrum,* `you may download it here`_.)
.. _you may download it here: https://electrum.org/#download
Electrum itself is pure Python, and so are most of the required dependencies,
but not everything. The following sections describe how to run from source, but here
is a TL;DR::
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
python3 -m pip install --user .[gui,crypto]
Not pure-python dependencies
----------------------------
If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies::
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
For elliptic curve operations, `libsecp256k1`_ is a required dependency::
sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
Alternatively, when running from a cloned repository, a script is provided to build
libsecp256k1 yourself::
sudo apt-get install automake libtool
./contrib/make_libsecp256k1.sh
Due to the need for fast symmetric ciphers, `cryptography`_ is required.
Install from your package manager (or from pip)::
sudo apt-get install python3-cryptography
If you would like hardware wallet support, see `this`_.

.. _cryptography: https://github.com/pyca/cryptography

Running from tar.gz
-------------------
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run
Electrum from its root directory without installing it on your
system; all the pure python dependencies are included in the 'packages'
directory. To run Electrum from its root directory, just do::
./run_electrum
You can also install Electrum on your system, by running this command::
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
python3 -m pip install --user .
This will download and install the Python dependencies used by
Electrum instead of using the 'packages' directory.
It will also place an executable named :code:`electrum` in :code:`~/.local/bin`,
so make sure that is on your :code:`PATH` variable.
Development version (git clone)
-------------------------------
Check out the code from GitHub::
git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git
cd electrum
git submodule update --init
Run install (this should install dependencies)::
python3 -m pip install --user -e .
Create translations (optional)::
sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext
./contrib/pull_locale
Finally, to start Electrum::
./run_electrum
