3.1.5 installation fails on Linux

I have Ubuntu 17.10, I can run 3.1.5 properly with ./electron-cash But when I try to install it with “sudo python3 setup.py install”, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 12, in <module>
    with open('contrib/requirements/requirements.txt') as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'contrib/requirements/requirements.txt'

Thanks!

@einsteinsfool you’re right, we should repackage and sign a new package. I originally thought it would require some code changes (and therefore not be deterministic) - but that turned out not to be the case.

However, the GitHub tarball that I linked should be trusted. It is generated and provided by GitHub, so if you trust them (which this project does), the tarball can be trusted as well. It’s pretty much equivalent to cloning the repository and rolling back to a specific tag.

Also would be great to have link to signature near download link for package itself. Rather than forcing every user to search for signature file in repository on github.
