Why use the terminal ? Here have a guide, credits go to /r/Electrum/ :
Warning: The new 2.0 version reads in the old wallet and converts it to a new format. The old Electrum version will not be able to read the new wallet format and will crash.
If, for some reason, you need to go back to the old Electrum version, you will probably have to delete the wallet file and restore from your seed words. Any annotations you put on your addresses (like "Pizza" or "Rent") will be lost if you restore from your seed words and didn't previously save the annotations via Wallet > Labels > Export. Probably best to back up your old wallet before running the new version.
Your wallet lives here, if you have "Bitcoin client" persistence enabled:
/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/electrum/wallets/default_wallet
Copy it to "default_wallet.bak"
Download the latest version from here under "Installation from Python sources > Sources".
https://electrum.org/#download (Should be named Electrum-2.0.N.tar.gz, where N is the latest version number.)
and save it to:
/home/amnesia/Tor Browser
(Because of the new AppArmor settings, you will only be able to save it there or to /home/amnesia/Persistent/Tor Browser)
Using the file manager, copy the file from "/home/amnesia/Tor Browser" to "/home/amnesia/Persistent".
Right click on Electrum-2.0.N.tar.gz and select "Extract Here".
Drill down into the "Electrum-2.0.N" directory and double click on "electrum".
Select Run.
It should start, but the network settings will be incorrect.
On the Electrum window, select "Tools > Network".
Make these settings:
Check mark Auto-connect.
Protocol: SSL
Proxy: SOCKS5 localhost 9050
Hit OK.
Exit Electrum and restart it.
The indicator in lower right corner should go from red to blue arrows to green.
The good news is you don't have to use pip to install Electrum.
Download the version that contains the sources: Right now it's https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-2.1.1.tar.gz
Untar that into your Persistent folder:
cd ~/Persistent
tar -zxvf <download_path>/Electrum-2.1.1.tar.gz
Run it:
cd Electrum-2.1.1
python electrum
