How to upgrade Electrum Wallet on Tails?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this question, but I'm kinda stuck. Currently running version 2.5.4 of Electrum and it isn't letting me send any BTC, so thought I'd upgrade to a newer version to see if that's the issue. Except I can't for the life of me figure out how to upgrade it.

Any help would be much appreciated

You can download the tar from Electrum, extract somewhere on your Persistence part of your Tails installation. Grab the linux version of course. Open up a terminal window and go to the directory where you extracted it and I think you run it by typing something like:

python3 Electrum

Or something like that. There might be a way to replace the shortcut from the menu options to make it easier or add it to the desktop but not sure. Over my head. I did find that I run it once and when I run the Tails version of Electrum it started working.

Observe that I don't know if there is an opsec issue by doing it this way. From my own experience, it is still proxy over TOR just like the Tails version.
