How can I create Creating random points along a polyline in QGIS?

I am trying to create random points along a polyline shapefile in QGIS. Basically, like the 'random points' tool in 'research tools' but for polylines instead of polygons.

I have tried converting the line file to a polygon shapefile, but it fills in some areas with polygons, whereas other areas remain long line-type polygons.

I am pretty new to QGIS, and am not really familiar with Python code.

Thanks
