Before you start, make sure that the required python modules are installed on your system. Some suggestions on how to do this are:</p><ul style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin-bottom: 1em; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><li>Ubuntu/Debian: <code>apt-get install python-gtk python-serial python-libxml2</code></li><li>Fedora/RedHat: <code>yum install pyserial pygtk2 libxml2-python</code></li></ul><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, grab the source tarball from the <a href="https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download" class="wiki-page" style="color: rgb(42, 86, 133); text-decoration: none;">Download</a> page and save it somewhere like your home directory and then unpack it:</p><pre style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 1em 1em 1em 1.6em; padding: 2px 2px 2px 0px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 1px solid rgb(218, 218, 218); width: auto; overflow: auto hidden; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-size: 12px;"><code>tar xzf chirp-0.1.12.tar.gz<br>cd chirp-0.1.12</code></pre><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From here, the easiest thing is to just launch CHIRP directly without installing it onto your system. Don't worry, this works just fine and CHIRP will be fully functional. Simply run the following:</p><pre style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 1em 1em 1em 1.6em; padding: 2px 2px 2px 0px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 1px solid rgb(218, 218, 218); width: auto; overflow: auto hidden; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-size: 12px;"><code>./chirpw</code></pre><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once you've tested that it runs on your system, you may want to install it permanently. To do this, run the setup routine by doing:</p><pre style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 1em 1em 1em 1.6em; padding: 2px 2px 2px 0px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 1px solid rgb(218, 218, 218); width: auto; overflow: auto hidden; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-size: 12px;"><code>sudo python setup.py install</code></pre><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(72, 72, 72); color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When finished, you should be able to run "chirpw" from anywhere on your system, and (with luck) you'll also have an item in your distribution's applications menu.</p>So you should just run the chirpw fie in the extracted library.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to 'install' CHIRP, you need to run the setup.py file in the Python interpreter with the install option.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Ken, N2VIP</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 2, 2022, at 10:17, K0LNY <glenn@ervin.email> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I am still using Ubuntu 18.04 on one machine, and I
neglected to get Chirp installed onto it before it was no longer

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I successfully added the Chirp repository to it,
but it would not install with apt.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">So I went to the Chirp archives and downloaded what
was stated the package for older systems, and I unpacked it, but they all seem
to be .py files.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I did not find a .sh file for
installing.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I'm only a moderate Linux user, so maybe someone
can give me some steps for getting Chirp onto this Ubuntu.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I'd rather not use a newer Ubuntu, since for this,
it is just there mainly for using Chirp, and it can be an older Chirp, as all my
radios would work fine with Chirp that is a couple years old.</font></div>
