Found them. Here they are...

Install the latest Rasbian OS for your Raspberry Pi. Then go to the
Raspberry Pi Configuration and configure the Localisaton tab. Be sure
to set the Character Set: to ISO-8859-1

Use the browser to download the latest CHIRP daily tarball. Today it
is: chirp-daily-20170501.tar.gz

In terminal, execute the following commands...

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-libxml2
sudo usermod -aG dialout pi
cd ~/Downloads
tar xzf chirp-daily-20170501.tar.gz
mv chirp-daily-20170501 ~/chirp
cd ~/chirp

>From here you can run CHIRP by using the following command:

./chirpw

Once you've tested CHIRP and it runs OK on your Raspberry Pi, you can
install it with this this command:

sudo python setup.py install

This should cause an "Other" entry containing CHIRP in the Main Menu
but I had to fiddle around with the Main Menu Editor to get the
"Other" entry to appear.
