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>.
