In case you are not experienced with Tails / Linux environments, here's a step-by-step:
Change the working directory to the Persistent directory
cd Persistent
Grab the latest version of the Electrum client source, from their website (2.0.4 at the time of this writing)
wget https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-2.0.4.tar.gz
Unpack it
tar xzf Electrum-2.0.4.tar.gz
Change working directory to the newly unpacked Electrum client
cd Electrum-2.0.4
You can finally run the 2.0 Electrum client by simply
./electrum
All dependencies and required Python libraries should already be available, at least on Tails 1.3.1, which is the latest at the time of this writing.
Good luck!

If you are feeling really impatient: Run TAILS with a root password set (In the extra options at the startup screen), and run the commands for linux on the download page here: https://electrum.org/#download
Electrum 2.0 runs great on Tails without root access or anything special. Just download the tar, unzip it, and run electrum. It will use the same symlinks as the built-in Electrum wallet (/home/amnesia/.electrum) so if you have persistence enabled then you don't need to do anything special to save your wallet. The Litecoin Electrum works great too, in case you'd like to use it for your tumbling needs. :)
