(If you've come here looking to simply run Electrum-FEC, you may download it here.)
Electrum-FEC 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 install python3-pip
$ sudo apt-get install libsecp256k1-0
$ python3 -m pip install --user ".[gui,crypto]"
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 # Not pure python - If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies
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
For fast blockchain verification, scrypt is required. Install from your package manager (or from pip):
$ sudo apt-get install python3-scrypt
If you would like hardware wallet support, see this.
If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run Electrum-FEC from its root directory without installing it on your system; all the pure python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run Electrum-FEC from its root directory, just do:
$ ./run_electrum
You can also install Electrum-FEC 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-FEC instead of using the 'packages' directory.
It will also place an executable named electrum-fec in ~/.local/bin,
so make sure that is on your PATH variable.

Check out the code from GitHub:
$ git clone https://github.com/pooler/electrum-fec.git
$ cd electrum-fec
$ 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-FEC:
$ ./run_electrum
Run unit tests with pytest:
$ pytest electrum_fec/tests -v
To run a single file, specify it directly like this:
$ pytest electrum_fec/tests/test_bitcoin.py -v
Any help testing the software, reporting or fixing bugs, reviewing pull requests and recent changes, writing tests, or helping with outstanding issues is very welcome. Implementing new features, or improving/refactoring the codebase, is of course also welcome, but to avoid wasted effort, especially for larger changes, we encourage discussing these on the issue tracker first.
