[chirp_users] New user; CHIRP does not start on my MBP

[Pete Mackie]

First, if CHIRP won’t launch & won't run, you may have neglected to install the Python runtime. CHIRP needs that. Even though Mac OS X includes Python built-in, the runtime has to be installed is because it includes PyGTK and some other libraries that Chirp requires, in addition to Python itself: http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/

Second, CHIRP is an application, which runs in its own application window. CHIRP is not designed to run from a command window. You run CHIRP by clicking in the application: chirp-4.0.0.app. You can run CHIRP from any folder, but it is advisable to deploy the chirp-4.0.0.app into the Applications folder and run it from there. I keep CHIRP in in my Dock where it is convenient to open.
