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: <a class="external" href="http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/">http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/</a><br><div><br></div><div>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: <span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i>chirp-4.0.0.app</i>. You can run CHIRP from any folder, but it is advisable to deploy the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Pete</span></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 18, 2014, at 8:36 PM, Jerald Josephs <<a href="mailto:jerald.josephs@gmail.com">jerald.josephs@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hello,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I just discovered Chirp yesterday and I downloaded it to check it out.
